Pants?

They have a velcro strap so you can snug them up.

When you get to work (or whatever) you undo the strap if you want and suddenly you have regular pants.

Mine haven't got caught in my drive train yet.

I have a pair of the Hind Munich tights, too. They are nice for running, but I've not ridden in them on my bike yet.

(Follow up to earlier post).....You might check out www.activelyyours.com under tights and pants.....They've got the Hind Munich pant for a great price ($36), plus a couple of other options that might work for you. I've got one pair of the Hind pant and I find it comfortable for riding, at least in the 10-20 mile range. Looks good, too. No bigger-than-life logo on the legs! ;)

Another source might be Athleta? They've got several tights and pants options. www.athleta.com

I like that Hind Munich pant too.

On the athleta site there is a nifty pair with a draw string at the bottom.

Of course having abused my CC this week, I won't be ordering for a bit.

On the TE website, there are about a dozen different pants that look like they would work for riding too: http://www.teamestrogen.com/categories.asp?catID=30
Listed under pants/tights no pad - maybe something from there?

Running pants are often somewhat tapered and would probably work for what you want. Though, they're still clearly athletic wear in appearance. I had some great fleece pants with stretchy breathable side panels that I pretty much wore to death doing everything from hiking to biking to snowshoeing in them.

I'm now in love with the Craft Storm pants, which are very "pant-like" in a weatherproof/fleecy kind of way. Fairly fitted through the calves so they don't snag on the bicycle, but they still manage to appear almost like a boot-cut fit. (I have a previous year's model that has a lot less of the white flashy piping.) I really like wearing them when i bike commute to school.

I've gotten several good suggestions. Wish there was some central place I could go and do a try-on!
