just stick a rubber band around your leg, the postman around here dumps them on the floor.

I've just bought a cheap front chainset for mine, came with the ring you describe on all for £8!

It is right at the cheap end of Shimano stuff but probably as good as the original fit stuff on the average ordinary bike. Depends on what crank fittings you need & number of teeth etc too.

i'll have a look see if i can get one for mine

Ebay/Wiggle/Chainreaction or Rutland are the best. Find what you like on Wiggle and buy from ebay. Wiggle are a good company and not really that bad on price.
Why not get some leggings/shorts and leave the trousers in your bag? ....you don't have to be be seen bursting out of lycra
