Pants to Work & Ride in.
When I lived in Nanaimo and Vancouver I could ware my Chrome shorts all day. Now I work in office and can not ware shorts. I am wondering if anyone knows of a company that make a good pair of zip off pants. So I can ride shorts to work and zip on pants for work. And for those of you who are going to say just change at work, shut it. I am wondering if such a thing in made.

Carhartts rolled up works for me and then I roll them down when I am at work. I wear a pair of bike shorts under and change the gonch when I get to work.

Those aren't shorts. In my legal opinion, they are man-pris. If you get hassled about wearing them, just file a sexual harassment suit against your employer.

Everyone knows the whole oilpatch is ghey. Worst kept secret in the oil and gas business. The flaming ones tend to work mostly as roughnecks. And I don't mean the classy "maybe they are, maybe they're not" ghey guys, I mean those big "Oh my God, here they come, floatin' around, makin' noise" ghey guys, not the fix up your house ghey guys.

If man-pris would get him gheybased, shorts with zip-on pants will at least earn him a wedgie. What happens if you are zipping on the trouser legs and blow out the zipper? (Likely scenario for a zipper following such a tight curve around a cuff). Murphy's law says that's the same day the zipper on the other leg gets jammed with the trouser leg on. He'd get fired for wearing his pants with one trouser leg long, one trouser leg short, like some scene out of Comedy Central's "Workaholics". That's just plain bizarre. At least with man-pris, you can fall back on the discrimination defence.

One thing I forgot to add is I love the Chrome shorts because they have the built in chamois. The chamois and Ice Breaker wool undies and I was good all day. Are there any hipster pants with a chamois?

I'm with ya on the Chrome but I think in you're locale you might just want to wear cutoff jeans and staple the legs back on when you get to the office.

Alternatively, get a tattoo of pants on your legs.

I already have a half leg tattoo so maybe I should just finnish that and rock out with my cock out as I work and ride to work?
