you 11-28-05 10:39 PM

Hepburn, but with maybe one more roll on the right leg depending on the weather and the size of the chainring.

I roll and fold like I was in 7th grade in 1992 again, both sides. The difference is that this time I'm not wearing high-top basketball sneakers.

powerjb 11-28-05 11:37 PM

both sides if not cabros... and aubrey over kate if i were forced to choose, but why choose if I don't have to?

spud 11-29-05 12:09 AM

For the record.......It's not about the "occasional greasy pant leg". It's about getting your shiat stuck in the drivetrain, which can cause injury when using a fixed drivetrain.
I am 90% Hepburn, and 10% LL Cool J. But I am 100% Cool J when it comes to deoderant chunks and lip-licking. :)

amazingly the ratio remains exactly two audreys for every james

fixedfiend 12-04-07 08:15 PM

i don't roll at all. I just let my pants be. It's more Zen that way.

4doorhoor 12-04-07 08:21 PM

Why the **** did you bump this crap?

crushkilldstroy 12-04-07 09:04 PM

I take my pants off.

kemmer 12-04-07 09:39 PM

I wear manpris and cutoffs, but for the quick trip to the store or whatever I roll the right only. If for some reason I wear pants and will be riding for a while, I roll both so my left pant leg doesn't flap on the frame/tire and get dirty. So, all of the above really.

funktupmofo 12-04-07 09:48 PM

Right leg only. I usually leave it up because I don't like the constant up and down game. I also like the asymmetrical visual dissonance that screams, "Look out world! I am here and I ride a BIKE. HARD."

For real though, I believe my inability to put forth enough effort to roll it down consistently is leading to my left leg being normal and my right leg slowly transforming into that of Benjamin Grimm from the cuff down.

kidtwisty 12-04-07 10:18 PM

i don't do anything.
i just wear really baggy pants and ride as hard as i can powering and struggling through my ride as my pant cuffs get caught up in the chainring and rip apart.
by the end of the night theyve turned into jean shorts.
i then return home and repeat the process.

i mean, thats the cool thing to do right?

Cynikal 12-04-07 10:28 PM

Man!, I was just bum'd that I alredy voted and forgot what I voted.

fix 12-04-07 10:47 PM

Whenever I roll just one leg, it throws me off balance and I can't ride. I'm all Audrey.

koyman 12-04-07 10:50 PM

I hear I do both.

roadfix 12-04-07 10:54 PM

skin tight lycra, roadie style...

kjohnnytarr 12-05-07 12:34 AM

Even my non-drive leg kinda catches on my crank (cause they're 3-piece) so I roll both sides.

Besides, my calves look hawt.

Jamtastic 12-05-07 12:48 AM

Wow.... Why is this back from 2 years ago? Just makes me miss Dolface, ABSNTR, Teadogg and Eddie B.

katio 12-05-07 11:24 AM

Yeah, I hear you. I got all excited when I started reading the thread and then checked the date stamp and was like "oh dang, these folks are looong gone"

Zombie Carl 12-05-07 11:25 AM

no roll.

noisebeam 12-05-07 11:30 AM

Neither, I've never worn long pants while cycling.
