In a market over there, I bought a pair of German bike pants, rather special. They inflate to keep you warm and also act like an airbag in an emergency, when they really blow up big time.
Problem is, mine inflate at any time, and I end up riding the bike like one of those stupid Harley people, with my feet sticking up and forward. It's so hard to reach the controls.
Then when I get off I walk like John Wayne with two wooden legs or somebody who has crapped his pants. I know people laugh at me.
The pants are out of warranty: what should I do? They cost £350 and I don't want to bin them. Anyone had this problem? Any advice? I thought about fitting a tyre valve to deflate them but don't really know about this solution as it might be unsafe.
Thanks
