cycling - PhD style!

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

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.

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.

*blushing*
I've done all of those, and the clever fold, flatten, and cuff with wider pants.

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

But do you have a PhD?

Well, no, but I am in grad school, so in a couple years I guess I'll be qualified to expand my pants folding/tucking/etc repertoire.

Hi, my name is Possegal, and I'm a PhD that has sock-tucked.

Haven't done the others though, and got a good laugh out of the binder clip one.

**Catrin** · 10-02-2010, 05:16 AM

I've done the binder-clip thing

I don't have a PhD though, just a Masters, so that doesn't count

**malkin** · 10-03-2010, 01:58 PM

Can I get partial credit for having 2 master's degrees?

**Trek420** · 10-05-2010, 05:45 PM

Duck on Wheels is here!

So far I have noted use of: pants tucked into (matching) socks or reflective ankle bracelet. She says she has used the paper clip method.

Duck has bachelors, 3 masters (combined into one, the Norwegians do that) and a PhD.

I use Portland commuter pants with built in ankle strap or capris. No degree whatsoever yet.

**Owlie** · 10-06-2010, 04:02 AM

You don't need a PhD to be qualified to do that! The webcomic is about grad students!

**girlsubobscura** · 10-13-2010, 02:24 PM

Grad student guilty of #1 and #4. I like to think that #1 is because we're smart enough not to spend money on those fancy velcro straps when the socks we already own work just fine. I am personally bringing back the mid
80's cuff roll style, I bet a few of you remember that sartorial high point.
