    A thought popped in my head that this would be fun. Hopefully we get an enough participation. I have plenty.

    Only one rule…Must be a during or after ride sock. No off the shelf. You see something cool at your local Spend Mart, buy it, wear it, ride it, snap it and post it.

    What better way to start?

    Yesterday and today’s gear.

    I wore these on today's ride. Hope this counts. Among the most comfortable socks I've ever worn.

    $20 a pair?! Yikes!

    At least you will be hitting PR’s!

    They were free! I would not spend $20 on a pair of socks. I have found them on sale for $16 a pair though.

    You're right about the PRs.

    I just ride in whatever socks I am already wearing, unless it’s cold. Then I put on REI Expedition wool socks.

    I wish! You don't know how many of my rides have been postponed due to me waiting for a matching pair of socks to dry!

    By coincidence, my GF bought me Popeye and Olive Oil socks the other day.

    If I still wore condoms, these are the ones I'd be using.

    I rode my bike today! Marshall Canyon. 12.54/1,344’. I crashed on Sidewinder, but it was glorious! I didn’t have the legs to get to Itchy-Scratchy.

    Don’t let the cops pull you over.

    i personally use bike socks for everything; business, pleasure, cycling, being forced to leave my house and live in hotels for days.

    Yep.
    These are a hit up here where all the trucks have Stars and Stripes flying from the beds. . . . .
    Granted it is one way of getting faster.
    Lol.
