Bikes: Fuji Touring, Fuji ACR 2.0, Roubaix & a Peugeot of mid 1980's vintage, orig 12 vitesse, now a single speed. Converted to fixie/single speed before I got it.

REI "Mistral" pants. http://www.rei.com/product/815993/re...mens-30-inseam
They are not cycling pants, but they have worked very nicely as my cycling pants. Legs are not overly large and billowy and they do have zippers that are about 10" long at the cuffs. They are advertised to be windproof to 25 mph. I would say that they are windproof to about 20 mph. They are water resistant, but definitely not water proof! The stretchy material makes pedaling a whole lot easier than jeans. The black color hides chain tattoes. Good down to a temperature of about 30 degrees (for my 20 minute morning commute). Below that, I'll add a layer of polyester long underwear.

A little pricey at US$90, but they've held up well for the three months or so that I've been wearing them.
