  1. About a month ago someone posted a link to their favorite online store
    with cheap cheap cycling socks (though I seem to recall it still turned
    out to be $4-5 per pair) and I'm trying somewhat unsuccesfully to find
    that link because I think I remember seeing smiley face socks and I'm
    trying to come up with good gifts from the states for my bike friends.

    Cause smiley faces are way cooler than socks that say Dura Ace even if
    they aren't quite as cool as lucky red socks with hand embroidered
    talismans on the bottom.

    -M

  2. You can get coolmax or similar anklet socks for half that if you shop
    the discounters found in most strip malls. Then (if you're in the US)
    visit the always creepy Michaels craft store, and pick up your choice
    of embroidered whatnot to stick on the ankle. I think a string of doll
    eyes would be the most striking, but there's plenty of eyebrow raising
    choices.

    Creepy? That's a verdict I reserve for Hobby Lobby. Michael's is odd to
    the non-crafter (that would be me, in this family), but not creepy.

    What creeped you out last time you were there?

    Nashbra's got some with NCLTO signage on each side. BIKE ROUTE, PARK
    AND RIDE. And the sole reads "on your left."

    HTH

    "Nashbra", Gracie? Is Doctor Freud in the house?!? :-D

    (Sorry if it's an old bit; don't recall seeing it before.)
