So, today I'm going to a cookout and put on a pair of cuffed kakhi's and a pastel blue polo shirt.

Anyway I barely get started when I hang the cuff on the peg and it happens three more times before the day is over.  The cuff hangs when I pick my foot up offa the ground pulling away from stops.

So, beware.

Shorts will solve that problem.  But only if you wear sflip flops since Tennis shoe laces can get caught too!  Bigok

I rolled my pants up once (new pants) and the same thing happened to me.  I was making a quick left turn after a stop and almost went down.

I think county should be wearing some Jams next time.  Do people still remember those?  And maybe a jazzcap to finish off the ensemble.

Ride naked. There's only one thing to get caught in the bike parts and for most it's too small to be a problem.

Aren't jams like the "Rex Kwon Do" pants from Napoleon Dynamite?

Nobody wants a roundhouse to the face from those bad boys! Lol

and are jazz caps those brimless hats?

I think it's "Hammer Time" for County..... Proper!

I just remember them from the 80's and they referred to any non-short shorts.

Jazz Caps came free when you purchased several burgers at Wendy's and were of impeccable taste    Lol

A good tight roll of the pant legs should solve that problem.  Also makes you cool. Cool
