My leg armor was chafing my knees, so I decided to try something out. I took 2 long socks which had very stretchy tops then cut the foot part off. Now I can put them over my knees so that the leg armor doesn’t chafe my knees. There’s some pics in my gallery. (There’s also some pictures of me on my muni)http://gallery.unicyclist.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=albuq71
It’s cheaper and I would imagine cooler than knee warmers like John Childs uses, but they probably don’t work quite as well.
Nice pics Nikki and a clever solution to your problem. I especially like the one of you and Doug the pug. I’ll be sure and show that one to King MUni-Man. He adores pugs and I foresee one in our future.
That’s great that King Muni-Man wants a pug! Pugs are good with kids. They usually put up with tail-pulling and the like without biting. Are you thinking of getting fawn like Doug or all black? Someday I’d like to own a fawn and a black pug at the same time. www.pugs.com is a great place to look for advice on training and the pros and cons of owning a pug.
John,
I’m sorry, my mistake. I forgot just how “cool” knee warmers are. The sock method isn’t very pretty, but the leg armor goes overtop anyway.
