soo yeah, people with solutions of patching with leather helpful, and durable types of jeans... people suggesting bike shorts not soo much.
i love my bike shorts, but that is if im riding long distances on my fixie +30 miles at one time, besides that i use my fixie to commute to school (3miles), then to meet people at restaurants/cafes, which doesnt make sense to wear my bike shorts then change into something else when i arrive... also its hot as balls to be wearing bike shorts under neath my shorts...
another note is that i didnt mention when i started this thread is, that when i had my bike as a single-speed instead of a fixie, i never wore through any pants, but these last two months ive destroyed two crotches
also, i wipe down my bike seat with baby wipes every time i get back in, since i have a white seat. i wash my skinny jeans and jean shorts every week, unless i find myself sweating hardcore balls when commuting to school and running errands.
