Knickers vs full length

**sundial** · 09-20-2008, 07:53 AM

I much rather wear knickers than knee warmers because of the comfort. I wear knickers mountain biking because in my mind it protects me from rocks and such.

Just don't get your knickers in a twist

you clearly missed my point. Most people wear leg warmers and tights. INSTEAD of these things, I wear the knickers and kneesocks, which i find very comfortable. You don't have to wear 'em, i was just offering yet another suggestion. And yes, i know that most people do not wear kneesocks when they ride bikes. It's just a solution that works for me.

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, 05:23 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?

CA

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

**BleeckerSt_Girl** · 09-20-2008, 08:10 PM

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.

**lph** · 09-21-2008, 01:56 AM

And your socks are too!

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 wasn't awake when I first read your post. I thought, how can I cool off by rolling down my anklet socks?

I really need to drink at least 2 cups of coffee before reading.
