  1. CYCLING SHORTS VS. BIB SHORTS FOR AUSTRALIAN CYCLISTS Good Cycling Shorts and Cycling Bib Shorts Share Some Common Attributes Cycling shorts and bibs help cyclists by providing a smooth soft seam free seat and padding. This reduces friction and provides shock absorption to make long rides more comfortable. Construction and Key Features • • • • • • Made from high-quality, moisture-wicking materials. Stretchable and form-fitting fabric for unrestricted movement. Good recovery after stretch. Fabric with antimicrobial properties to stay fresh. Compressive fabric to reduce muscle oscillation. Chamois pad for cushioning and pressure reduction in the seat area. Chamois that goes the distance. Cycling Shorts: Embrace Simplicity and Convenience Commuting and Short Easy Rides Bike shorts give comfort and support for work or casual rides without losing convenience. Quick Changeover Cycling shorts, or "KNICKS", are good for people who ride bikes every day or for fun. One of the primary advantages of cycling shorts is their ease of use. Cyclists can quickly put on and take off their shorts due to the waistband design. This makes it convenient to change clothes before and after rides. Their quick changeover capability allows for a seamless transition from regular clothing to cycling attire.

  2. This feature is particularly convenient for those with time constraints or those who frequently transition between cycling and other activities. CYCLING SHORTSare also more convenient for nature breaks and therefore often chosen by cyclists riding for long distances. Freedom of Movement Mountain biking enthusiasts can also benefit from wearing cycling shorts during their off- road escapades. The extra padding in the chamois helps absorb shocks and vibrations while navigating rugged terrain and they allow for freedom of movement in the upper body. Cycling shorts are stretchy and fit well. This allows for unrestricted movement while mountain biking. You can move to suit the conditions and won't get caught on branches or bushes. Cost-Effectiveness for Occasional Use Another benefit of cycling shorts is their cost-effectiveness compared to bib shorts, especially for occasional riders. Cycling shorts are often more affordable. This makes them a practical choice for riders who engage in cycling sporadically or for shorter durations. SCODY Knicks At SCODY, "KNICKS" refer to cycling shorts. So, if you come across this term within SCODY's products, know that they are essentially referring to cycling shorts. Cycling shorts give comfort, support, and convenience for commuting, leisure rides, or mountain biking adventures. Our PERFORMANCE CYCLING KNICKS are popular in Australia for both MEN and WOMEN. They're highly reviewed and great for cycling. CONTACT US for more details about our range of bibs and knicks for both MALE and FEMALE riders. Bib Shorts: Elevated Comfort and Performance

  3. BIB SHORTS are a specific type of cycling shorts that offer unique features and benefits compared to traditional cycling shorts. Let's explore their design, distinctive characteristics, and the optimal situations where bib shorts shine. Design and Distinctive Characteristics Bib shorts have straps that go over the shoulders. This is different from regular cycling shorts, which only have a waistband. Bib shorts' shoulder straps give a comfy fit, spread weight evenly, and remove the need for a tight waistband. Bib shorts have a higher waist to cover more and prevent showing your lower back when leaning forward while cycling. Our popular PURE BLACK CYCLING BIB SHORTS are worn by many at SCODY, and are available for both men and women. Ideal Situations for Wearing Bib Shorts Medium to Long Rides and Climbing Mountains Bib shorts provide superior comfort for rides lasting more than 20 kilometres or involving extended periods on the saddle. The shoulder straps distribute pressure evenly, reducing strain on the waist and belly and ensuring a more comfortable experience throughout the ride. Bib shorts offer optimal support and cushioning when climbing mountains, enhancing overall performance. Competitive Races and Aerodynamic Positions Bib shorts take the lead during competitive races or when adopting aerodynamic riding positions. The absence of a waistband eliminates any pressure on the waist Additionally, the higher waist design ensures that even if the jersey creeps up during intense efforts, there is no risk of exposed skin. Unpredictable Rides Bib shorts are great for rides with uncertain outcomes or varying distances. Whether you're meeting up with friends for a ride that could turn into a 20-kilometre journey or a more extended adventure, bib shorts ensure that you are prepared for anything that comes your way. Advantages of Bib Shorts Enhanced Comfort during Extended Rides The shoulder straps of bib shorts provide improved stability and prevent the shorts from shifting or sliding down during long rides. This eliminates the need to constantly readjust the waistband, enhancing overall comfort and allowing you to stay focused on the road ahead. Optimal Coverage and Reduced Exposure The higher waist design of bib shorts offers increased coverage, minimizing the risk of exposing the lower back, which can be particularly important in colder weather conditions. This added coverage provides extra warmth and protection, ensuring a more comfortable ride. Increased Breathability and Freedom of Movement Bib shorts offer excellent breathability and moisture management, thanks to the absence of a constricting waistband. This improves airflow and ventilation, keeping you cool and dry during intense rides. Additionally, the design of bib shorts allows for unrestricted movement, giving you the freedom to pedal with efficiency and ease. Deciding Factors: Activity Type and Body Shape When choosing between cycling shorts and bib shorts, it's essential to consider the specific requirements of your cycling activity and body, including ride duration and posture. Additionally, body shape can play a role in determining the preference for one type of shorts over the other.
