What do you do with your trouser legs?

[Boris Bajic]

May I just say that the title of this thread reminds me of the schoolboy joke:

Where did Napoleon keep his armies?

In his sleevies.

Thank you.

How about one of these things?

I made a replacement one for Arch's Jeep, just need painting candy red on gold.

lycra.

Hey - that's my first bike, when I was ten years old! (Mine came with a chainguard that matched the mudguards, though).

It was missing when I bought the bike the bike for Arch. That one I had to panel beat from some steel sheet. I am learning to airbrush so I can spray it to match.

That's made me feel quite nostalgic. I'd forgotten all about that bike, but it did a lot of miles with me. I even went touring on it as a lad.

I may have to come and see it, although I think it'd be a bit small for me now.

 

[Night Train]

I'd better get on with getting it fixed up then.

just use an elastic band, at least you will find one that fits

I don't find I catch my trousers in the chain, it's the bottle cage that does for me.
I walked to the community centre to drop my girls off today and forgot to roll my trousers up when I set off on the bike, half way down the first road I nearly came off as my trouser leg looped itself over the cage.
I need to find some better clips -bought mine from the LBS, haven't tried halford's own the rolled up leg look really isn't me and also, sometimes I don't shave my legs!

I cycle to work wearing short and change into managerial garb when I get there. It works just fine till the bottom of my shorts hook over my friction shifters!
