Pants & Dirty Chain

Ron Hardin said:

Cutting the toe out of an old (thin) sock gives you a nice
sleeve to slide on the bottom of your pants leg to keep it from
flapping against the chain.

If the sock matches the pant leg, it's even better. I wear white
sweatpants in cold weather for visibility at night, and a nice
white sock is invisible against it.

Stylistically, you look like a jockey once the pants pull out
of the sock a little, at least on that leg.

Stylistically, I keep thinking about knickers.

Add long sox in a chain tattoo pattern, a matching snap-brim cap (wool,
of course), a sport coat (this is a sport, right?) and you're all set! ;-)

Even better than wearing white is to be lit up with lights & reflectives. You
can get trouser clips to go round your ankle, keeping trousers from flapping
that are fluorescent & reflective - good for day & night visibility.

Actually, no; white is better. Reflectors depend on the guy's lights being the
brightest thing around, and flourescent (depending on UV) is invisible to headlights.

White also works in the daytime, making you visible in shadows against trees,
without being unacceptable wear indoors like flourescent.

Funny that, all the reflectives I've seen over here in the UK are *not*
invisible at night when a light is shone on them, be the light bright or dim...
and as far as I'm aware, there's no law against the wearing of fluorescents
indorrs. Not the best of taste, perhaps, but not "unacceptable" ;-) And the
trouser clips I wear are both reflective & fluorescent & work *extremely* well,
being visible from a fair distance both during the day and at night when light
is shone in their direction.

If it's acceptable indoors, you can always have it with you.

Reflectors depend on the light that the guy that's going to hit you has on.
White depends on the light that anybody anywhere has on you.

I usually use a large rubber band if I'm wearing pants that are loose enough
to rub the chain...easy to put on and take off right over the shoe and very
inexpensive.
