heh heh heh

Riders used to complain that the 'white sox only; must cover 
the ankle' rule was silly. And also the official with a tape 
measure checking distance between hem of shorts leg and knee 
back during the 'black shorts only' rule era.

But as they say all is change. A new era with even more 
arbitrary and ridiculous rules.
