Buy them two inches longer. They should just drag standing up, perfect on the bike and they won't blow up. You do wear boots, right?

I normally wear 34 x 34, but my riding pants are 36 x 36 to keep my pant legs down and allow extra room for my concealed carry. I think they are Wranglers Twenty X, but I never have a problem with them riding up.

Over the years, Levi's, Wrangler, L.L. Bean, Lee, OshKosh overalls, don't recall ever having a problem.

If they're just coming up a little bit, maybe it's just from the bent legs?

Levi 505 or 514. They do not make them the way they used to. The weight of the denim is half. I burn through a new pair in less than two years, and I still have a pair from 10 years ago that are still good.

Wranglers, whether I'm riding or not.

I've never had my jeans ride or fly up. I'd think flimsy or really thin material might do that but blue jeans? No.

I'm normally wearing a Speedo. No boot problems here.

I ride with whatever pants I'm wearing that day. Some of the lighter weight pants do tend to ride up from the wind. I bought a pair of riding stirrups. The kind with an elastic band with metal clips on the ends. The left clip one scratched my engine case while shifting. I now cover the clips with electrical tape. Riding stirrups are pretty cheap and do work, just watch out for the metal clips.
