ps. yes, "pants-keeper-downer".
Would anklets work? I use the $3-fiddy ones from MEC that function pretty well.

I was getting tooted by a box truck thing, I just waved back - asshat couldn't go anywhere anyway. He did do the "creep along the curb lane a little bit, stop, crawl a bit more, stop, oh, and then decide to actually join traffic flow" thing when I first caught up to him. I hate that. Cabs do it all the time, which is all nice and well usually, but I'm extra leery of hopping tracks in this gack, so I just exercised my saintly patience (which includes calling him a jackass as I ride by his window) .
