Bibs with pockets, less $$$ than Rapha?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Tight shorts with a gripper band? Not happening. I remember doing this with a key and a little folding money on training rides in the days before I owned enough jerseys to last a med/grad student’s laundry interval. Never lost anything and shorts weren’t as secure in those days. I’ve done it more recently with my PIV card for work.

If lucky, the new owner will also be the recipient of a couple old granola bar wrappers in the pockets. And perhaps a slightly off, vague smell or two.
Shipping included, right?

Only with orders over $110. You're going to have to add some old socks to your order, or one of my 5yr olds drawings

This is why I rarely, if ever wear jerseys without a zippered security pocket.

It is one of the first things I look for when shopping and won't even waste time looking at one without.

I lost everything once - car and house keys, money, credit cards and drivers license. It isn't happening again.
