knee warmers

kelownagirl · 10-07-2006, 02:15 PM

OK so I went out and bought knee warmers and tights and a headband today. (yayayay! I love shopping for bike stuff...)

Anyway, it's a bit cool out so I want to wear the knee warmers with my shorts so here's my dumb question #452. Do you wear the band of the knee warmers over or under the leg band of the shorts? I'm thinking it would be personal choice but maybe there is actually some good reason to do one or the other?

Shorts band over knee warmer band looks more asthetically pleasing

Less sausage-leg look... Not that that's important

I wear my shorts over my knee warmers. I think it looks better and it keeps them in place better too.

Yup, shorts over leg/knee warmer. Same for jersey/arm warmers!

That's what I did and they were great! I bought some tights and a headband thingy to cover my ears too. Only a couple more things to pick up as the weather changes.
