Hey Mimi- I suspect you are actually on the cutting edge of the next big thing!:

I also wear knickers and knee socks. I didn't think anyone else did! I must admit, I look a little silly, especially since all my socks are striped. They're bamboo, and really warm. I've never had cold feet while riding with them.

Oooo! I like those!

**redrhodie** · 09-20-2008, 04:23 PM

How about these?

Now THOSE are knickers.

Yes, those are really nice knickers. My husband would love a pair. Sigh, there are birthdays coming.

so what's wrong with striped knee socks ?

We need cooler weather in NC!!!! Those are very cute socks - would love for it to be cool enough to wear them here

Bamboo socks? Haven't seen those - nightshirts and all sorts of other stuff, but not socks. Where do you find them?

yeah, I was hoping for a link to the bamboo socks too!

Mimi, GREAT photo of you two!!

Hey that guy(?) walking along the road behind you in the picture doesn't have any knee socks on and he looks so sad.

I wish! I found them at Marshalls. Bought a pair, wore them, went back and bought the rest (just 3 more). I dread the day they wear out!

Yesterday, I remembered I wear them with some polar fleece socks over the top when it's below 40º, which adds another layer of warmth and color. Never too much color for me.

Nothing wrong with striped socks in my opinion! I think I look pretty cute, just like you do in that pic

Here are a couple of links:

an intermediate link or two suggested Target, Kohl's, Sears, JC Penney, and other retail outlets...

Love the pic!
Are they smart wool socks?
I think I have a pair of those socks in green shades and I love them on and off the bike in winter.

Next question then...fleece lined or not...or both?

I have a pair of each. I wore the unlined ones yesterday for a 200K. It was in the high 50s when I started the ride and climbed into the low seventies.

I wear the fleece lined ones for days that are going to stay in the low sixties.

If the day is staying below 55 or so, I want to be in tights. I have two different weights of those as well - a fleece lined pair and a heavier pair with wind resistance built into the front. The lighter weight ones have a chamois, the heavier pair doesn't so I wear shorts under those.

I also have a pair of rain pants that I will wear over the lighter tights. When combined with the heavier pair it makes me too hot.
