Thanks Vickster, although the prices aren't quite what I was hoping for!

Hunt around, never know what you might find in clearance

I'm sure there are other outdoorsy sellers with stuff you could wear on a bike

 

[vickster]

Except GC specified seeking clothing for cycling in a similar vein to the trousers from M&S. Of course, he could wear anything or indeed nothing

 

[vickster]

They claim they have been designed with cyclists in mind, tapered legs, poppers at ankles, reflective bits, higher waist band at back (presumably to save following cyclists from a view of hairy crack) and so on

I am wearing mine ATM, just been out for a quick ride down to the shops when it decided to piss down for a about 2 minutes. My legs stayed dry, wasn't expecting that, it might be because they are new; I don't expect them to withstand a long downpour but I'm quite impressed by them so far.

That's not something I'd want to inflict on the general public.

Actually, you could wear anything you like on a bike .

Okay, I asked for that. I'm looking for stuff that's got cycling-friendly features but looks like ordinary clothing.

So I have just done my 1st wet ride (20 mins) in my Chinos and I am happy with them. They repelled water every bit as good as I would expect them to
they wont win a style award but as long as i am not meeting anyone too important i wear them during the day (I have a suit I leave at work)

And at £12 it pleases my half Yorkshire half Scottish genes

Juts making another batch of crab apple jelly, and then I hope to get out on the recumbent for an hour or 2, in my new M&S chinos. Glad they are proving to be showerproof at least - should get them tested later!

All the big sizes are gone.

All the big sizes are gone.

No doubt bought up by all us fat bastards on CC.

[vickster]

The 44" waist maybe but there are ample in other sizes, 38-42" all lengths

 

[andytheflyer]

I've just sent 2 pairs of 38/29 in navy back as they were a bit tight on my thighs.

Been out today in my 40/29 chinos on the recumbent and I'm very impressed. Will be very good when it gets a bit colder.

OH has received his trousers and declared them to be perfect trousers! So much so that we've just ordered another pair for him.

Still sulking about the lack of a women's version!

 

[vickster]

Have you tried a men's pair? Although I think the smaller sizes have probably gone

Loving mine. 10 over 10
