I saw this and had to laugh - I have seen each of these solutions on campus in the last week alone! Enjoy!

cycling - PhD style!
Life is like riding a bicycle - in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving.

my son, a recent PhD graduate now doing post doc work sent this too me with a mention that he had tried all of the methods, and just preferred shorts. He is in Southern California so he can get away with that.

ha, I use "askew pedaling" at times. My socks aren't long enough to tuck. I frequently walk around half the day with my right pant leg rolled up because I forget to unroll it.

They forgot big rubber-bands. Works better than binder clips.
Or a set of shoe laces - one to use, one for spare.Beth

I got a chuckle out of the comic.
Personally, I have an ankle Road ID... so that's what I use to cinch up my pant leg.

This one gives me a chuckle. I've done the sock tuck (my socks matched!). I've seen all of these around campus as well.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Yes, that makes too much sense. Safe, effective, casually draws attention to the roadid, kinda stylish in a way.
