Come the colder weather and I'll be back in shorts with overtrousers, and long wool socks.
If I get hot the overtrousers come off. The wool socks are comfortable, keep the overtrousers out of the chain, and are still tolerable if they get wet.
Can't stand lycra, so the shorts are standard sports ones (Umbro or similar)
Do I care if it isn't 'standard' cycle wear? - no not a jot! Comfort comes first.
If people want to cycle in football socks good on 'em. After all they're on a bike not in a car, and the socks dont stop cycling being healthy, fun and environmentally benign.
