Roll them up. That's what all the trendy pseudo-messengers do around here.


Or tuck the pantleg into your sock.

Yeah, I have resorted to that already. The echo's of past school friends
taunts still haunted me as I was tucking the sock in.

I don't want to be an "occasional rider".

Seriously, have you tried it? I got the idea from
an LBS here which let folks try bikes. Of course
they have the occassional rider with "trousers"
or jeans, and they give them one of those thick
rubber bands to slide over the jeans.

been
looking for a pair of MTB trousers with something like Velcro straps
to
tighten the shine on the right side, but I cant find any... So its
looking
like I'm going to have to start using cycle clips!! What do people
use?

If that's too hard, you can always tuck your pants into your sock.

Works for me.

I roll my pant leg up over the top of my calf. Does that make me a
poseur?
