I love that every one of these threads has about half of the posts consisting of "I wear the cheapest socks on earth, some that I find in empty fields, and don't care what color they are." Sigh.

The guy asked if anyone had worn bamboo socks. For me it's a no, which is surprising, as I have probably 30 pairs of cycling socks.

I'm not ruling them out-- they cost around the same per pair as a good pair of cycling socks (or wool hikers, for that matter)-- and I'm mostly okay with $10 for a pair of socks. I tried riding in cotton socks once. That was once too many.
