30daysofbiking Day 1 without #30daysofbiking! 10
miles on the Brommie with a top speed of 16.7mph chasing sock stock!
Cycle Surgery sent me a secret code that would give
me three pairs of socks for the price of two. I couldn't resist! Off to the
nearest branch for sock talk.
For me, the main priority for my socks is that I
don't notice they are there! If they are too big they can crumple up inside the
shoe and rub against a foot causing blisters. I usually wear two pairs of socks which vary
in thickness depending on the weather. If it's very cold I wear overshoes. As the temperature seems to be rising (well
today at least) a purchase of summer socks seemed a good idea, especially three
for the price of two.
The assistant in Cycle Surgery recommended The
Pearl Izumo Attack low sock as they are soft and unobtrusive when worn,
along with another brand, Icebreaker. Sadly neither were in stock so I
shot off to another branch where the stock supplies were worse. Very un-Cycle
Surgery like! I don't normally have these issues in this shop and I always find
the staff really helpful, informed and enthusiastic so even though I was still
sock free - eight miles haring around London in the sunshine could hardly be
described as a bad day!!
I did pop into Evans Cycles - result! Not only was I
inundated with socks but they were nearly all in the sale! Huzzah!
