GREAT looking bike, but...are Freds allowed to wear tights? I can't find my copy of the FAQ's.

I usually wear $10 Old Navy shorts over my bike shorts. My wife doesn't want me to scare any of the children or older ladies in my church if I were to pass them while I ride!

my 'Booties' for cold weather is a pair of rubber golashes(sp?) that fit over my shoes that I cut out holes in bottom for my cleats.
My 'high end Glasses' is a pair of safety glasses borrowed from Work.

I wear a pair of Raichle half boots when the commute temperature drops below 30º F.; below 15ºF. I wear the old insulated Army boots. Both are made with GoreTex. Below 5ºF. I put the rubbers with foam insole inside on the boots.
Adaption for cleats? Not an issue for me. Nor is cold feet.
