Right. What have I forgotten: Too late - Slippers: Really?

[Crackle]

I beg to differ. It is just about acceptable to wear SPD sandals with SealSkinz socks (or other brands of waterproof socks) on an audax... but the socks must be black.

Kerching! Another one, it's racking up.

Whilst I appreciate the depth of disapprobation for my sandal wearing, I feel I must point out that I have never worn white socks but I believe Nicky has, nay not worn, flaunted.

If you can be bothered to get your arse into gear for the Scarborough ride you may be in luck again

I feel we need some comparative shots and some limits. Now I feel that long trousers, socks and sandals are just fine. Shorts, socks and sandals on the other hand are the preserve of Dwayne Dibley.

You need to appreciate that what may be acceptable on New Brighton beach may not necessarily be acceptable elsewhere

Trousers and sandals are also wrong.

Amen

If it isn't warm enough for shorts, it isn't warm enough for sandals of flipflops. Long trousers and sandals sends out a message that you just don't know what you're doing

A chap's got a right to wear Birkies with shorts or strides.

As for the colour of cycling socks, these should only ever be white, it is a crime to have them in any other colour. If you see anyone in any colour other than white they should be punched in the face immediately and the authorities informed.

Good god, there are so many schisms here that it's hard to keep track of the splitters.

This thread is nearly as good as the cooker extractor one, and has already surpassed Mamion's leaf count classic

please note, the majority of the above are not white. QED

Just no

Sandals/flip flops

I'm sure there is a difference but I like the smell of neither.
