Cordarounds Bike-to-Work Pants
Ace Up Your Sleeve Cuff
Bike commuters, your pants have arrived. Courtesy, Cordarounds. The Bike-to-Work pants solve two problems: 1. Bike pants typically look, well, ridiculous. 2. Bike pants can prevent you from being hit by an oncoming car. Style or safety? Corarounds aims to prove you can have both.
The Bike-to-Work pants fit in tradition with Cordarounds fit and finish, pockets and belt liner made of seersucker, relaxed fit, and modern style. The inner pant cuffs and rear pockets have been lined with Illuminite Teflon and 3M Scotchlite to provide glorious reflective visibility. Simply roll up your cuff, turn out your rear pockets, or any combination of the two to instantly turn your work slacks into bike pants.
Editor’s Note: A couple members of the Gear Patrol crew have taken the Bike-to-Work pants out for close to a month now. We’re glad to report that we’ve avoided both oncoming cars and the fashion police. The Cordarounds are officially an official part of the wardrobe, well worth the price of admission.
Cost: $90 (Only available on Cordarounds website)
Now that you have commuter pants, you need to upgrade your bikes. Shifters on the down tube?
Ha. Excellent comment. Since we only use friends and neighbors as models, we had to work with the bikes they own. We may create some products with a fixed gear bike co. this Fall, and if so, you can expect far cycles to be used.
Here's a link to the a page we've created that houses all kinds of bike to work pants info:

Not for me! I have a firm policy not to mount any 2 wheel vehicle that will doubtless have to go " mano a mano" with a 4 wheel vehicle, with an engine.
These pants are a great idea. Love the reflective stuff on the inside. Wouldn't mind them being a little more slim fit towards the ankle tho… but I'm guessing that would inhibit the rolling up mechanism.
you guys should review the cordarounds smoking jacket - I've always wanted one but don't have the cash to pick one up right now
