Becoming my granddad
Peddle Up!
Posts: 2,040
Going for a "proper ride" - full lycra clobber, with layers and longer leggings for the cooler weather. Shower and change at work if commuting.
Going for a ride in the summer, shorts and T-shirt.
But what to wear in the winter months for a ride into town, to the pub etc.?
If I wear jeans or chinos, or something like, that I end up with chain lube on the bottoms of the legs. If I tuck them into my socks, I need to wear long socks and it's not a good look, frankly.
Plus sometimes they come loose, so it's back to oily legs.
So, should I wear cycle clips and turn into my granddad? :roll:

Wellie boots - waterproof, oil resistant AND comes in a variety of colours. What more can you want. Of course you may look like a dweeb. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals! Except the weasel0

+1. For everyday short commuting / riding about town, just roll up the right trouser leg to just below the knee, and maybe the left one just a few inches to stop the fringe getting tangled. Works best with jeans, lighter trousers don't stay rolled up...White Line wrote:Roll them up like the hipster you are!0 -
