Yesterday, I was on my way home and spotted this rider. As he paused to take a phone call, I couldn’t help but notice his fancy argyle socks. They’re awesome!

Now, argyle has become somewhat trendy in some cycling circles, with companies making argyle arm warmers, cycling-specific argyle socks, and even argyle jerseys.
But this guy just said, I’m wearing my regular argyle socks on my ride. They look great with my blue button-down shirt.
Nothing cycling-specific here. Just a subtle commuting fashion statement that gets a thumbs up from me.
