Getting colder
I've accepted that it is time to wear socks with my cycling sandals. Do I wear them over or under the tights? They are hand knit wool socks.
Right now they are over the tights.

Definitely voting for socks over tights!
I wear two pair this time of year - wool socks under tights, loud and bright socks over tights.

Yeah, bit of a chill in the air. 90° yesterday, only 84 today, better bundle up. Never cycled in sandles. I did go around the block one time with flip flops because I was too lazy to go get my real cycling shoes. I did have my helmet on though. Must have looked funny.

Socks are worn under tights. Sandals are good to about 45 degrees, I find. But not in 45 degree rain, that would be closed shoes with booties.
