    Leg warmers?

    Hi everyone!
    Just received my leg warmers from TE (trying to get a jump on purchasing cooler weather gear).
    How are you supposed to wear those things? They looked funny over my bike shorts legs, but when I put them under the legs I had lots of wads, etc.

    I don't want to show up for a group ride looking like a complete dork so I thought I'd ask the experts!
    Thanks.

    I stick mine under the edge of the shorts, like in my avatar.

    I stick mine under my shorts as well, or I'm afraid I'll end up with ankle warmers!

    They have to go under your shorts if not, trust me on this, they will roll down. Put them on first and then your shorts. Yes you will have a weird bump lines under your shorts but oh well.

    i do the same, i wear mine under my shorts. the are long enough that they go the full lenght of my leg (i'm vertically challenged). i find having them up that high also helps keep my legs warmer in the chilly weather. and i can wear them longer before putting on the heavy tights to keep me warm.
