How to Make the Ultimate Pair of Bike Pants for Urban Cycling

Sure, there's lots of bicycling clothing out there, but most of it doesn't work too well for everyday wear, leaving you a bit out of place when you've reached your destination. Chris from ManMadeDIY.com shows you how to customize an existing pair of pants to make them perfect for bicycling in the city. See more at: manmadediy.com/chris/posts/284

i like this video, makes me wish i knew how to sew.

love the zipper, only thing i didnt like or would change is the u lock holster, you would need to unlock and lock to put on or take off your pants

Great video. I like the U-Lock holster idea and the reflective strip.

I would add a zipped pocket to the backside of one (or both) leg(s).

I don't like having keys or other stuff in my sidepocket or thigh-pocket when I go biking, they tend to stick/poke into the area were the leg bends (don't know what it's called).

Just an idea...
