Hey those are cool. Make it something we all can order, and I bet many would order.

The fashion police say no way. I get hammered for wearing a pink Giro Italia leaders jersey on group rides. I would suspect banishment for showing up in those.

Might add if you like those you will love these: https://www.smpselle.com/smp4bike/en/products/clothing

Cartoons below the product are a hoot.

It just occurred to me; There might be a good use for those tights.

1. We round up all the CO bikers we can find.
2. Everyone orders a pair of those tights.
3. We organize a ride to Black Hawk.
4. We s-l-o-w-l-y walk back and forth the length of the town.

Curtis went too far with his design this time.

Are those designs meant to represent varicose veins?

They are "Made in USA" - I may have to buy from that company.

I would quit biking if I HAD to wear those. And I would not associate with anyone who did wear them. Seriously.

I bet that some guys (probably too many) in cyclo cross races would wear them. But not this guy, not even at the holloween race.

Great idea. Make it a regular ride on nice busy weekend days.
