After having a couple of uncomfortable occasions where members of the opposite sex were eyeing me in my cycling shorts in a not-so-nice way while in a store on my way home, I picked up several tennis skirts and skorts (the tennis ones can be found at much lower prices than the cycling specific ones, and they look about the same except no chamois - but I wear my shorts underneath if I need the padding) off eBay, and I wear my short cycling shorts underneath, or I just wear a skort to ride in, and I've really enjoyed them. Makes those quick little stops at the store much more comfortable ... and they're cute! Of course it's about time to put them away (unless I get some leg warmers!), finally had to pull out my tights (bare legs were quite chilly Monday evening!).

I appreciate the tips for wearing a regular skirt on the bike though ... I'm sure the occasion will come up where I might want to do that (and I also noticed Ali McGraw looking so cute on her bike in her little skirts the last time I watched Love Story )
