Okay, this is a bit of a tangent but it'll apply in the end: I've been wearing argyle socks exclusively for about 12 years now. They're ugly and cheesy and I love them (screw white tube socks man, that ****'s so passe). Sometimes I manage to track down some really long ones and those turn into my fall / winter socks. I just hike them up to my knees and that makes riding w/ rolled up pants totally comfortable.

Ps. Warm weather: pull the socks down over themselves, to about the point that the sock ends up halfway under the sole of your foot. Behold, the eyefloater ghetto cycling sock technique.
