chico1st said:ok one question i have
i am having a lot of issues with keeping my knee warmers from sliding down when im not wearing compression shorts/tights.
So is the whole point of knee warmers to extend compression shorts? so would knee warmers and compression shorts just be the same thing as knickers (compression shorts past the knees)

Pro cyclists almost always cover their knees if the weather is under 60 degress F. Supposedly it's bad for your knees if they are not covered in cooler weather.steelem said:i dont see the point in wearing knee warmers - shorts for the summer - bibtights for the winter - 3/4 for spring / autumn -

No i dont get cold before a cycle i simply wear the correct clothing to suit the weather oh & i dont go out early in the morning!!capwater said:Ever start a 4 hour bike ride when it's cold and end it when it's much warmer? The whole point is that you want your knees warm when you start the ride and may want the option to shed them as you and the weather warm up.
Good knee warmers should not slide down, they have a silicone gripper strip around the top that is designed to keep them tacky against the skin. If you put them over shorts you will loose the adhesion.

i live in the uk - its 0 deg at present - so i certainly wont be getting my shorts out until may - even then ill go out about 10am for 2-4hrs no problem - i suppose if your going out early then this may cause the cold start but hey why dont you wait till mid morning !!alienator said:It must be nice, then, to live in a place that experiences such small temperature variations. Here, we can go from 38 degrees in the morning to 60+ in the afternoon. Now, which bit of clothing allows you to tolerate that range of temperature variation? Oh, that's right: it doesn't exist.

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR A BIT OF A ***** - 55 DEGREES & NEEDING LEG WARMERS - YOU MAKE ME LAUGH - THATS A HOT DAY TO US BRITSalienator said:Have things to do. Want to take a long ride. All sorts of reasons.
If it's 55 degrees, I'll still wear the leg warmers until it warms up. Then I'll stop and remove 'em. Same with arm warmers, except those come off while riding. Heck, I've even been known to unzip my jersey a bit as I ride.

Still, I imagine with the prowess and he-manliness you've clearly demonstrated here, I'm sure you'll have the pic of litter when it comes to payin' for a transvestite for the night.
So, let's recap: you're not riding because why? It's cold? Wow. What a tough guy.

FWIW, some people have jobs and do other things during the day, Brenda. A lot of people don't have the casual life style and lack of responsibilities that you have.
Rocker man? Shouldn't you be studying for your high school classes?
