Is it 'Wimpy' to wear longs yet?

[trio25]

I had my longs on today, I don't care if its wimpy it was cold out there today!

 

[domtyler]

Not too sure? But it's definitely not Burger-Kingy or McDonaldy.

There's always one!

 

[longers]

3/4's for me today. They look rather fetching with my overshoes

 

[Crackle]

You're just jealous 'cause it's normally you. Like that Bizarre Luftwaffe comment today

I wear longs most of the time on the road bike ! CHICKEN ! and hairy legs !

yep, me too. leg warmers in summer, proper tights in spring/autumn and the aldi thermal bib longs for winter, all with shorts. if it's a real scorcher i will just go short though.

I wore full goretex windstopper longs, new overshoes, cycle shirt, arm warmers, Night Vis jacket and a hi vis vest and a hat...and some fingerless gloves. My biggest enemy wasnt the weather...as usual it was the murderous chavs of Essex.

Its a bit wimpy its only just September and its wet but not cold. I am staying in shorts on and off bike for as long as I can, digging the longs out means Winter is really here.

Worn them a couple of times so far this year. It's cold and wet at 7 in the morning.

Wore longs last night to the pub (made a few of the posh diners choke on their vol au vents I can tell you). Snug as a proverbial bug.

What a wuss

I'm still in shorts, just throw on a waterproof gillet.
I bloody love in the rain!!!

 

[Vapin' Joe]

Shorts at least till the end of September, I hate having my legs covered.

 

[lifeson]

This is going to sound really pervy but does anyone rub baby oil on their legs in the rain
I don't but I read on a running website that some runners do the theory being the water doesnt stick and stops you getting so cold.

As good an excuse as any, I suppose!
