You can buy them at the army surplus, and they come in many different colors, too. Personally, I like the green, but you can choose from a wide assortment of colors. Try and match them to your jerseys. You can even match them to your bike if you like. Oh, you can even use them for running, mowing the lawn, driving, cleaning the garage, raking leaves, working on the computer, washing the car, working in the garden, walking to the store, trimming trees, jogging--you get the idea, huh?

Let me know how you like 'em:)

+1 Absolutely. Nice thing about tube socks is if you get them in XL you can wear one as a stocking cap in nippley weather. Of course that foot then becomes cold and why it pays to rotate. Another fringe benefit is because they are so large, they make great shop rags...good for changing the oil in the lawn mower you mention. Can even use them to strain the old oil and that hint of oil residue left after washing is good for dry skin.

Ha! The Braves weren't eliminated, they moved to Atlanta.

We've got the Brewers now.

I was speaking of the original braves. The ones that rode bare back on the plains until my forefathers got rid of them. ;)

Well, it is sad but it's a dog eat dog world, always has been always will be. There is a current movement going on to take over world if you haven't noticed.

try looking here-- they usually have a 'grab-bag' of cycling socks - 6 pair for $17... The biggerst advantage over the white X-Mart socks of course is the colors :)
