Why We Love Cycling Socks! Plus, a Suprise!

August 8th, 2024 | by Keaton Smith

Cyclists LOVE socks. But they are also very particular. I learned that the hard way when I showed up to a group ride years ago in my Nike ankle socks… dark times 😂

All of us at Bivo have strong opinions on how we like our socks (I always go for bright/neon socks because I appreciated the added visibility on the road). Sam loves tall socks because he says they’re more aerodynamic than bare legs (even shaved ones!). Caitlin always picks socks to match the color of her cycling water bottles.

We’ve been talking for so long about how we all need bright Bivo socks, so we finally got around to it and worked with DeFeet to make the perfect Bivo sock (tall enough and nice and bright)!

When our new socks arrived in the office, we all headed down to Lake Iroquois for a picnic lunch and a sock photoshoot. We hopped in the lake for some pictures and had such a blast, despite the out of control seaweed. Let’s just say the floor of Iroquoris is not a place you want to be rummaging around in, even with socks on!

A Fun Suprise! For the next 100 Bivo orders, we're tossing in a free pair of our cycling socks!

We wanted to share the sock fun with all of you, so we decided that we’d pop in a free pair of Bivo socks to the next 100 Bivo orders!! 

For the next 100 people to order a Bivo, just add in your sock size into the order notes, and we’ll toss in a pair of brand new Bivo socks (that haven’t touched the bottom of Lake Iroquois, don’t worry!).

Thanks everyone and cheers to bright socks and having fun on bikes!

This story is a celebration of women and girls in sport. In stories from girls and women of all ages, we hear from avid cyclists, young surfers, and ultra runners about what sport means to them. 

The reality of spring in Vermont is that for most of the spring season, it’s cold, rainy, and there’s a weather surprise around every corner.

After ski season fades away, there are a few solid months where outside adventures likely won’t be super warm, dry, or bright. But, that doesn’t mean fun outside is impossible!

Embracing outdoor adventures, especially in less-than-ideal conditions, is not only the best way to get through these shoulder seasons, but add more fun into your life. 

There’s nothing quite like The Friday Ride. The essential ingredients, for me at least, are: start early, chat with a buddy, enjoy the big outdoors and finish with coffee. It’s not about the training, the structure, the elevation or pace. In fact, it has very little to do with performance biking. Rather, it’s about sharing moments with great people in great places to see things or reflect on life in a way that you wouldn’t do if you weren’t on the bike.
