Do you remember in the late 80s to mid 90s (I think) leggings were all the craze? With or without stirrups?

Well, I used to make them for myself, and now I use the old ones to wear over my bike shorts on cold days on training rides, but am contemplating making myself some for next summer... and cutting them "on the fold" so the seam runs down the outside of the leg...

Its gonna take a bit of creative thinking, but I might be able to swing it...

Nevertheless, my old leggings (with stirrups of course ) are loose - I didn't want them skin tight - so I don't have any chaffing issues...

Maybe my post is all waffle... maybe something is of use?
