Hey,
well i'm back at uni now and having to ride to and from uni 4/5 days a week now.. but i've hit a bit of a problem...
i normally wear shorts whenever i'm on the bike, mainly cus thats all i have, but its getting too bloody cold to wear them!!
so i'm stuck with jeans n t-shirt atm, but what else could i wear?! i dont want lycra/spandex.
are there any riding specific pants that dont boil you legs when you get hot, but also look quite casual?
Cheers

I wear these but they aren't that casual but a bloody good trouser for keeping you warm/cool Dry and are comfy and light weight.0 -

I've got a pair, they're fine.0

Only thing I'd fault is no pockets. Certainly keep the damp out.0

i like the look of the endura singletrack pants, but they look kinda tight fitting??...i have large upper thighs and can't wear anything relitivly tight i have to get jeans a size bigger to get them over my thighs!!0

not a bad shout there, wish there was an aldi nearby...nearest one is Hounslow and i try and stay away from that place0 -
I use Madison Dri-Tex trousers. Cost about 35 to 40 quid i think. They are seam sealed water proofs and pretty breathable. I usually suffer from sweaty legs with trousers on but these are the best ive used yet. Good fit too.0

Waterproof, breathable - golf suit. Often use exactly the same materials as found in the MTB market, but a lot cheaper.0

In a nice pastel plaid? With a tastefully embroidered alligator motif?
Sweet.0 -
Lol, mine is tartan. But better than looking and feeling like a drowned rat.0
