Wherever I May Roam

Off the beaten path I reign

Nomad, vagabond

Louis Garneau Rocks!

Knowing that I would be heading out as always for my Saturday morning ride Christine decided to give me a Father's Day gift a day early.  She had gone to Performance Bike and bought me not one, but two, Louis Garneau cycling bibs.  Having always wanted a bib, but never wanting to dig deep and pay for one, I was ecstatic when I opened the gift bag and saw them inside.  I had noticed that many of the pro riders wear bibs so I really wanted to find out what the difference was over standard lycra riding shorts.  Louis Garneau makes only high end performance gear and it was abundantly apparent the moment I pulled on the bib.  Because the bib pulls on like suspenders going over your shoulders the waist band is replaced by a support panel so there is no binding and if your jersey were to ride up in the back the bib still has you covered.  I did indeed go out for my long Saturday ride and now I completely understand why the pros often wear bibs, because they Rock!
