Oh no!
What a tragedy was the life of Bongo.
That lengthy series of disappointments and now this.
I'm so sad that I cannot even muster the will to vote.

Buy what ever is good but cheap.
I have noticed road pro's have been wearing some odd lenghts ... then I read an article by Mark Cavendish describing a lead out ... he noted that he wore long tube socks so his mates could spot him in the pack easier!
Maybe that is why LA wears women's half stocking length black socks ... he wants protection ...

Covering your ankle is advised, as that is a prime contact point in crashes.

i prefer low rise, not quite no show. i have big calves, and high socks make my ankles disappear, giving the dreaded cankles look.

Why aren't knee-highs an option?

I have a few pair of longer socks.. they get worn when I have no clean ankle "cycling" socks.
