White is much safer. As a gym instructor once explained to me, when
queried on why I had to wear white socks, "In case your ankles start
bleeding, we'll know it." I really couldn't argue.

new socks).

He was overcompensating for starting his cycling career wearing a
speedo and grease pencil.

See, this is why people can't take you seriously, Tom. You just "don't
get" what is obvious to everyone else.

It's almost as if you are a crack baby, but 60 years older.

Having said that, at least the Disco boys got rid of their knee-high
1970's socks that Lance wore, which will almost certainly disgrace his
legacy in the sport.
