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

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.

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
