I tend to always have balloon twisting balloons with me...they work really well for holding pant legs as well. I've also used them to tie down lights and to make other minor repairs. However, I'm assuming most people doing have a stock pile like me.

Don't know about the paratroopers but some guys use them to make a neat looking crease on their trousers instead of tucking them into their combat boots.<br />

Winter riding is about survival. Traction on the pedals is fine. Boots are warmer too. What works works. NYTime today has a Style Section article on bicycle fashion regarding the Amsterdam bicycle. Note they have chain guards as permanent fix for your problem. Also skirt guards. I'm sure it could all be made of carbon fiber for weight weenies.<br />
