Don't sweat it, man, I've got the very same problem and been wondering that for months. Very annoying indeed.

There are no stupid questions. Only stupid answers. Depending on whos asking and whos telling.
Straight leg jeans (Which are tighter around the ankle)
Or chaps
Thats the only thing thats worked for me.

I feel ya brother, I love loose bottom jeans "worker jeans" but they suck to ride with, they flap around and you look like the flying nun.

I have the answer but something tells me you won't like it. I've seen guys do this with tarps when they cover their rv trailers and it seems to work for them, just fill a couple of milk jugs with water and tie them to the bottom of your pants HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ho ho he he ha ha ha ha ha ha, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ahha hhh yak uh cough hu hu huuuum! (hair ball) he he he he. Sorry man, it just seemed like the thing to say at the time. Ha ha ha ha ha he he he he ha ha ha. No really, I'm sorry, I won't say anymore, Oh! gots to go my lip is starting to quiver...

I usually don't have a problem with straight leg jeans. You should try high speed with Docker pants. They fill up with air all the way past the knee and then blow over the top of the boots. My legs look like the marshmallow mans legs.

KY23 has the answer (http://www.hawgtiebikerstirrups.com/).

I wear jeans that are actually two inches longer than my inseam. That way they are all the way down when I'm in a sitting position, and are unaffected by the wind.
