  • Why would be a problem for “general” hygiene? You wash your bibs every time you use them, it’s like your underwear, really. And while the TOP part of the bibs are made of Lycra or whatever other tissue, the underpart is the padded part, which has a different feeling on the skin anyway. And you wear them for a few hours at most, clearly not for entire days (well, now, those times you go for 180 or 220km… but that’s another story), so not a big deal, again. Blisters are a much serious issue, trust me.

    Also, please, you are going to sweat and drench yourself, stink and be covered in dirt or sooth or smog or whatever. Maybe also catch a rainstorm, then sun. You going to need a shower and clean clothes as soon as you are over anyway. Trust me, underwear is something just not meaningful there.

    Ask other athletes. Do 100m runners wear underwear? Do pole jumpers? No they don’t. And, do swimmers? No they dont, and swimming suits are the same fabric as bicycle bibs.

    For women, you know, they need to wear lampoons, absorbers, or however they are called in English sometimes, and my understanding is that in those conditions, underwear is desirable. Again, i know girls who ride with and without.

    It is subjective, but indeed more common NOT to wear them.

    Yes it’s a very stupid memory management meant to improve battery life by killing any app thats been running at all…

    Very frustrating and idiot.

    Try play any game nowadays… The instant you switch away bam, killed.

    It’s baked into android. AOSP I mean, any and all android flavours.

    Disabling optimization for battery doesn’t help with any bigger app.
