I bought these on your recommendation. I've used them only one day so far, but I can say that they didn't slip and felt pretty comfortable. Thank you! They seem much nicer than the bands I've been using which don't look radically different, but these white ones are made by someone who did some better design and testing.

Change of cloths. My ride to work is somewhat challenging (only 4+ miles, but over 700' climbing) and I'm a heavy sweater, so a change of cloths is a must for me. I wear cycling/spandex shorts under thin/technical/MTB cycling shorts. Long spandex tights in the winter. On top, it's a t-shirt, with light shell jacket if cool. I change into business casual clothes after I arrive and cool off. I'm at work ~30-40 minutes before I have to be presentable. It takes me 5-6 minutes to walk from my classroom to the bathroom, change cloths, drop by the office, pick up my attendance log, and meet the class on the yard.

I might end up doing that, but for some reason, I don't like changing clothes. Maybe I'll get used to it. Remind us what you teach?

Right now, I'm in grad school, and there is no place there to store anything. I have to carry everything. Changing would be a pain, but it's OK. I don't sweat heavily.

@noglider I teach 4th grade, sometimes 4th & 5th together. I’m fortunate that I have some extra cabinet space and a place to park my bike in the classroom during the day.

Sorry I forgot that. Very nice. I'm headed to teaching special ed in grades 7 through 12. I don't know where I'll end up, but last year by happenstance, I ended up teaching English in 4th grade. Not what I was aiming for, but I loved it. A former student of mine just sent me a text (through his mother) thanking me for the extra attention I gave him. It's been 10 months since I saw those kids.

been very happy w/ these

it's a Knee Warmer Knee Brace Sleeve

do you remember this "Pant Stirrups?" thread? see post #11 here

I just have to remember to put them on my ankles, before I put my shoes on

My mom chose 3rd and 4th grades. She said they're old enough to be interesting and fun, but by 5th grade they're already starting to act like know-it-alls and were big enough to hurt her even by accident.

When my daughter was that age, she told me many times: "Enjoy this time. This is a good age." Stanzi had been good ever since about age 4, so I didn't know what she was talking about. Now, she's 13 and can be a real PITA. Definitely a know-it-all.

I used various velcro bands, elastic bands, rubber bands, metal clips, old toe straps. But those were all a hassle in at least one way. I either tuck into my socks if they're long enough or I just roll up my cuff. Simple. Works whether I'm wearing jeans or a suit. No extra anything required.

I don't recommend the slap-type (metal spring band inside a plastic sleeve) at all. I tried a couple including name-brand Nathan, and they did not last much more than a year, due to the plastic sleeve splitting. I'm currently using some Jogalites from a Performance Bike closeout, simple plastic reflective with a fabric liner and velcro. If they wear out, I'll try the Leg Shields. Looks like a good recommendation.

Now that the weather is warmer, I'm wearing shorts on my rides at temperatures down to 65ºF (18ºC). I should be wearing my trouser bands for the reflectivity. Maybe I will. But I haven't done it yet.

Hello
Just registred now, and my english is very bad
I use a horse stuff."100 Mesh Adult Horse Riding Half-Chaps - Brown" from Decathl... in images in search engines
With them i get my throusers far away from chain, obviouly, but i was loocking for it mainly for keep the throuser legs upper on my knees
Now it makes my wear trouser like a sweatpants, without any drag when pedaling. much better any toe trap, all them have knee drag
So,.., clean and effort less. People look at me extravagant. i pàss

ah!


reminds me of hiking "gators" & would def. keep your trousers clean

Your English is not very bad. Welcome! Where are you? I'm in New York City.

Thanks, the languajes aren´t in my skills
I´m in Madrid / Spain
And, in Madrid, near a river, where it leaves the city so to anywere i want to go is up.
It´s like left behide the drain and climb the sides of a bathtub. I´m very old.
Sometime i read you and i learn a lot, thanks a lot. This time i can tell this, it goes very well for me and i haven´t seen anyone using this solution

I prefer this one, it eliminates the knees drag with any throuser i wear

The Decthlon´s is the best that i found for biking, it is very comfortable, easy to wear beside the bike in the sidewalk, it worths for conmuting, warmly in Winter, almost fresh in summer, very clean, …,very well

For equestrianism there are much better, in really leather, well done, very nice, with horses but that i tried in stores are dificult to put on.

This other ones, for countryside, with their stones, thorns, weeds

I prefer the first that you sow, it eliminates the knees drag with any throuser i wear
The Decthlon´s is the best that i found for biking, it is very comfortable, easy to wear beside the bike in the sidewalk, it worths for conmuting, warmly in Winter, almost fresh in summer, very clean, …,very well

For equestrianism there are much better, in really leather, well done, very nice. With horses but that i tried them in stores and are dificult to put on.
I tried welding legs too,or DIY with sweing machine. other...[/QUOTE]

Leisesturm I want to thank you again for the trouser band recommendation. I've used them a lot now. They seem to be made of neoprene or something like that. They're slightly elastic, and the insides create enough friction against my trousers. They look like they're very reflective, too, though I haven't tested that.

Different bands have different shapes. I have a pair I got as a pre-teen that are sublime. Many pairs are "only if I really have to" uncomfortable. About 5 years ago I found a pair that are pretty good. They don't have reflective properties (or the area is very small) but with good fit, work very well and are easy to carry and put on and carry nicely in any pockets including full dress pants.

Now at night, I second Trahak. Good, bright either reflecting or light going up and down simply works. Nothing else out there does that. People see it even if they are not consciously aware. (I used the French Wonderlight on my ankle or calf for decades. Not ideal for comfort, 2 C size batteries so poor run time 'til Durace hit the scene. My ankles took a beating - especially on the fix gear; I had to stuff material under the spring to keep it from getting compressed. A lot of compromises but ... I lived just outside Boston, commuted in for years with no car. Back before bike paths. And I"m here.)

My commuting mantra has always been: Don't commute in your work clothes or work in your commuting clothes. There are presentable sports pants that have side zippers that take away that overlap eliminating the need for any kind of strap. I have 3 pair. The only concession is making sure you put you socks on before your pants.

Nah, changing clothes is very inconvenient for me.

Ooh, how about some velcro on the insides of the pants cuffs and somehow sticks to the socks? The question is, how would one disable this system when not needed?

By covering the hook side with another (stitched in place on a dongle) patch of the velcro's pile side

Clever!
