I almost named this thread "Dresses/skirts on the bike" but realized that was not the meaning I intended. I'm sure my bike would look very cute wearing a skirt.
Any suggestions of dresses or skirts to wear on the bike? My brother is getting married in 2 weeks. After the wedding they are jumping on a tandem to go to the reception and we are all invited to hop on our bikes and follow them. I want to look nice for the pictures but also be able to ride my bike somewhat comfortably. I think I want to wear a skirt or dress. I think I want a new skirt or dress for this. I would love suggestions.

The Athleta Whatever skort? It's adorable, comfortable, and you'd never know that there are shorts underneath.

The Shelia Moon Lingerie liner? Lovely bit of lace at the bottom and means you could wear any short dress or skirt to the wedding.

I wear dresses sometimes, while cycling. I just make sure to wear a short short up under the dress to keep prying eyes away. It helps to not have something long and frilly too, it will get caught in the chain and pedals. Good luck! I love girls who look chic on their bikes.

Sheila Moon is a cool site. I like lace trimmed chamois. I don't think chamois is necessary (it's not far from wedding to reception) but shorts would be more comfortable for modesty.

I love skirts and dresses on bikes. +1 to the Sheila Moon lingerie liner under anything. I have a couple of Nuu Muu dresses which are just excellent, and a Sheila Moon Bo Peep dress in blue, which is full-on adorable. Could you borrow a dutch style bike from somewhere, then you could wear whatever you want?
What a great idea for a wedding!Dawes Cambridge Mixte, Specialized Hardrock, Specialized Vita.

So I *finally* got to try some of these on. Adorable, comfy, yay! But nothing in my size in the color I wanted. Online, they estimated shipping it DECEMBER 1ST.
