Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Black ankle socks with the Nike swoosh. Nike Outlet store: 3 for $8. Makes me feel more like Lance (because Nike sponsors him, not because they're like his 70's era mid-calf socks )

I have a few male friends that can accomodate you

But since we're on the topic, to me, there's nothing hotter than a cute, sexy jewish chick in a catholic schoolgirl uniform... yummy!

I have to pick a color? I've got seven pairs of cycling socks of varying patterns. Not a one is a single color.

Black SmartWool for the most part and a couple of cream color ones as well. Any color except for white, they only get road grimed and end up grey anyway.
