You know I've mentioned Roller Derby a time or two in class and they look at me like they've never heard of it. Who couldn't remember cheering for the Bay Area Bombers (was that it?) every Saturday morning?!?!?!Quote:

You never know :pQuote:

When I'm riding 4 miles or less, I'll usually just wear regular clothes, if it's cold, a cycling jacket that has pitzips, and those reflective velcro straps to keep my pants from getting in the chain.
I have a pair of jeans that have a very noticible "saddle mark" on them where they are wearing out :rolleyes: (only my cyclist bf noticed so far)
I've often thought it'd be cute to wear a short skirt with leggings underneath, either that go to the knees or to the calves to ride on a regular day, too.
Yea I've found capris under short dresses with tights work out pretty well, and all you have to do is take the pants off when you get there. It works if they're fitted and they match... opaque leggings work too, but I've always felt a little too exposed that way when the dress/skirt rides up...Quote:

Can't address cute. I antithesize fashion ;D
Isis has some rain wear that is very nice. I have a rain suit from them and it's great. Usually have pretty good colors too. Might try that.;)
