When the levis' jeans came out, I emailed the company to ask them to make a version for their Docker's casual pants. Since most places seem to have jeans day once a week or so, making dockers with commuter features would give them a larger chance at the commuter market. Never heard anything back, but here's hoping. Even at $78, I'd buy every color they cvame out with if the dockers had the same features as the jeans.

I ride 8 miles each way in my Dockers when it's cool enough. Mountain HArdwear used to sell some work(ish0 pants that were made for bike commuters (reinforced seat, reflective band under the pants cuff, etc IIRC, but I haven't really seen any other commuter specific pants that were less than $100 each.
