Bike to work pants -- brilliance in your back pocket
It's pretty safe to say that I'm a sucker for any new invention that facilitates bicycle commuting by making it easier, safer, or boosting the speedy awesome fun that is biking. That's probably why I find myself so taken with Cordarounds' Bike to Work Pants. The idea is simple: the pockets and inside cuffs of these pants are lined with reflective tape for night-riding. Yet, unlike most bike-safety wear, these pants are stylish and normal-looking on the outside, safety on the inside. Just roll up your cuffs (which many bikers do already) and flip out your pocket lining, and you can leave the dorky reflective vest at home. Nice. I've only got two criticisms for the Bike to Work Pants. First, Cordarounds should look into possibly using organic fabric to enhance the appeal and reduce the footprint of these totally green-friendly slacks. Second, not that this applies to me -- because I never seem to have any money -- but what about people who actually carry wallets? These pants can't be super-friendly to those of us who tend to frequently misplace our pocketbooks.
