Riding Without Socks - Am I the Only One?
The other day I was getting ready to go out for a ride and realized I didn't have any socks with me and I didn't have any on my feet, so I decided to go out for a ride without socks...
It felt great. My feet stayed dry, my tan lines are going to be less obvious. Is there a good reason to wear socks? Am I missing something?
Do any of you all go sockless in the summer?
BTW, I wear Shimano SH-R085 with SPD-SL 105 pedals.

During the summer, I'll ride without socks on most rides.
Though, to beg the greater question: do we really need a thread about whether people wear socks when they ride?
