Grey work socks worn with cleated cycling shoes and full lycra!!!

Now if @vickster had a BLACK bike, she would never have a problem like that...

She would just have another irreconcilable problem and would have to give up cycling

Another few weeks and it will be time to wear these bad boys again

Do you need actually socks when your legs are that hairy Most hairy animals don't bother

If it's raining on my commute I'll wear white socks, grey by the time I get to work, if not it's my black work socks. I like to think my pairs with one of the seven dwarves on are particularly popular with my fellow road users.

I don't normally care what others are wearing if they are comfortable with it then fair play ....but...there's this one guy I've seen a couple of times on his way to or from work who has a drop bar bike and he wears a TT helmet you know the proper cone shaped at the back one with the visor ....nothing wrong in this you think...except he's wearing steel toe cap boots cargo trousers and a big high viz coat...now I'm pretty sure if you want to be streamlined to shave time off a ride you wouldn't be wearing so much weight lol

On the rare occasion that I commute to work I have thick socks and Lycra on. Work clothes are taken to work the day before so I don't have to carry loads of gear with me I find it more comfortable to ride in in cycling gear even if people I work with take the mick

I'm surprised! They actually do sell grey cycling socks!

They actually looked like grey school socks which is why I thought it was funny when everything thing else was lycra.
I agree that you should wear what you are comfortable with and what you can afford. He might have not liked my loose style shorts! I haven't found any tight fitting ones that I feel comfortable in!
