    I don't like them. I used to wear them for commuting, now I just roll up my pants.

    For f/w winter MTB, I just throw on knee warmers, whether or not I'm wearing baggies.

    Then again, I have ridiculously small calves for my height/size, so there may be a vanity component to my choices.

    Dave, you lost weight. I'll send a few cases of Pringles, that should fix things.

    They may be functional but in the south manpris with shaved legs could turn ugly.

    Dave,
    Can I buy you a drink (or three)?

    results from the photo shoot that Too Tall requested.

    photos by the wife who indulges both my silliness and my riding with good cheer and sews my hems.
    (for the record the hair is product less, bedhead, I may rock what some consider manpris but I don't put crap in my hair)
    pants are both circa 2008 models.
    Swobo Roscoe knickers, $70 on a Swobo sale
    grey pants bought for $3 at the thrift store (the thrift store is often the only place I seem to be able to find 31 inch waist pants these days)
    my best attempts here to mimic the stereotypical cheese found in your cutesy clothing catalog.

    when it comes down to it, I don't like changing clothes during the day, or busting down leg warmers or what not during a ride, so I find the 3/4 length pant a go to workhorse on and off the bike. I dig 'em and seems around these parts (piedmont NC) they aren't that uncommon so doesn't seem hard to pull off.

    Nevermind... I'm busy Friday night.

    You didn't have Champion socks on earlier in the thread and it appears you've lost weight since that picture too.

    Gentlemen. You're single. You're out alone. You've had many, many drinks. Its last call.

    It worked with my wife!

    Our first few dates were going to american dance festival performances (she was doing a lot modern dance choreography stuff back then), and three county bike rides out into the countryside, and sneaking out of work for rooftop sunset watching.

    Chase,

    Dave is winning... by a big margin.

    Go to a store. Put on some capris and such... have friend take pictures.... post them here. Quick.

    Man up (or man down) or step off!!!!

    PS. If you get pictures of you in drag at your next show then you win. I would hope you have already done this at some point anyway. If not then we have to have a talk about your rocknroll credentials.
