Seeing as the weather is looking a bit iffy for this weekend in Wales, thought I'd better get something to keep me a bit warmer than my shorts Rolling Eyes

What's everyone think of these two?

Or are tights a bit, erm, fruity? affraid

Don't mind shorts in all but the very coldest conditions, I wear shorts pretty much 24/7/365, even in snowy conditions, at work and on the bike, but thought Wales could bring things up a level. Was at the summit of snowdon a few years back when the weather turned real nasty real quick, and being a tad under-dressed got pretty chilly! pale

Cheers for the help peeps!

bikesters look good but I would recommend bib shorts like these: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?Cat=cycle&ProdID=5360031772&N=dhb%20Merston%20Bib%20Tights

or these:

keeps your kidneys warm but make sure the front is low cut - it helps for those 'moments of relief'

I generally wear bib shorts under bikesters

Just remember to get changed BEFORE taking the family out for lunch:
