News – Velotastic Sock it to their Customers

Company Press Release

Like many things to do with bikes, cyclists can spend hours debating the subject of socks – black or white, under or over leg warmers, length.. it can take up most of a cake stop if you are not careful.

There is an UCI rule regarding socks that was introduced in 2012: Socks used in competition must not extend above the middle of the leg. For many riders this would be a no-no anyway as the use of compression socks whilst riding has never really caught on.

Socks are however a great way to show a little individuality whilst you are out riding your bike. Gone are the days of the choice being black or white socks – it used to be said that black socks were for training and white for racing, now there are a whole palette of colours and designs to choose from.

In these days when many in cycling have adopted the unofficial ‘rules’ socks and its associated sartorial minefield, socks are a great way to put your own mark on what you wear and stand out from the crowd.
