These nifty looking tights that I've picked up in preparation for cold
weather commuting, do I wear them under the jeans or as replacements
for the jeans? I figured that I'd wear them as non-cotton long johns,
but I've picked up some hints that real bikers just use them alone.

I wore one pair yesterday under the jeans because it was under 32F and
it seemed appropriate although my legs have not been cold at all thus
far. But it isn't 15 degrees either.

Do people really find them warm enough to bike without anything else?
I didn't seem to be too warm with the jeans on over them.
