There is the old purpose designed bicycle clip. That will work better than an elastic band, and also prevent Gangrene setting it by riding around with a tourniquet round your foot.

I assume that you require this for commuting?

If not, buy some proper cycling trousers (or shorts) that will be fitted to minimise this.

Call me oldfashioned, but what about a chainguard?

Nope just for larking about, its not a problem if I'm intending to use the bike as dress appropriately but some days I park the van in the garage & jump on the bike & mess about, which I did yesterday (forgetting my elastic band...) which resulted in my trouser leg catching said sproket while pulling a wheelie & down went Blair DOH!
