More on this thread.

I briefly thought about doing some research on this myself.  When I last looked at the available literature, the impression I had was compression clothing resulted in:
 
- some reduced post-exercise soreness.
- possibly some small biochemical effects
- no change on athletic performance

I've not done a proper literature search in the last couple of years.

I'd rather be shit or injured than go running/cycling in those "how to make your self look a complete knob by wearing long socks"

You obviously haven't realised that if you're out running/cycling, you look like a knob no matter what you wear...

You can try to make exercise less pain/more efficient or you can try not to look like a dick. You'll only succeed at the first one though...

I beg to differ I think you would find I look the picture of mature athletism when out on my bike.

I usually add a frock coat and top hat to that outfit.
