Pants?

That's a good thought.

I think LLBean has some "classic" fit pants that have less wide legs. I've not tried biking in them (they're 100% cotton long pants - not good for biking), but that style would work.

Not on TE, but looks like the sort of thing I was thinking of...

That is a cute pant. It may work.

I'm a "knees in" rider, so any extra material is apt to catch on the rings. I probably need to go try some on at some point. I may even look at making or modifying some.

Hi....Take a look at Hind, SportHill and REI---all three have "tights" that are about half way between a tight and a pant. Lisa's idea about ski shops is a great one---I've seen some things online that look like they'd fill the bill...........I have a couple of pairs of the LLBean "perfect fit" narrow leg cotton pants in black. (Got them on eBay for a ridiculously cheap price--$4 or $5--a few months ago.) Those work just fine for short commutes where you want to hop off the bike and look not-too-sporty at your destination. But they wouldn't be my first choice for a long ride.

I'm quite fond of my Rivendell biking pants. I have the butternut color, but now they have grey... and I want grey!

Mine don't look quite like this picture (no green crotch gusset, it's butternut) but here's what's on their website right now: http://www.rivbike.com/products/list...product=22-433

I like that Title 9 stuff

Here is one thing I have discovered: Tapered leg sport pants are not in style, so go to Goodwill and Salvation Army. I have found tons of Nike, Adidas, Reebock pants with the zip legs and elastic legs and I just wear shorts under them.

I also have a pair of Hind Munich Pants. They also have a tapered leg and are possibly the most comfortable pants I have ever had. They are also warm.

I figure I'll have to hit up Goodwill.

Knotted, I like those Riv pants. But the legs still look like they would catch on the rings.
