    Could be. What brands have you tried? I'm not saying you're imagining it, but while I am aware of something being on my knee, I wouldn't say that I feel like my movement is impaired. But I definitely prefer the longer length of my Shebeest pedal pushers.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    It was 45 when I left home at 6am this morning! In a couple months, that'll seem downright balmy, but it's been 65 for the last few weeks.

    T-shirt, super light (but windproof) jacket, full lightweight gloves, light shorts covered with non-bike capris (I'm cheap and I tend to layer capris/tights over shorts rather than buying multiple pairs of longer pants . Wool socks, as always.

    Upper body was cool but fine, knees/calves were cold... I'd forgotten how much riding in the cold saps your energy. And my feet were COLD-- I bought new shoes this summer and while they're great in the summer, I can see the need for some kind of covers this fall/winter/spring...

    It was nice, I just need to readjust and remember what to wear when
