I thought she was intentionally mimicking those ads. And she was specifically talking about bicycle commuting, not recreational riding, and plenty of women don't ride bikes to work because of the way they have to dress for work.

I think the intentionally mimicking part would have worked if it was a satirical article. But the article wasn't satire and she wanted her suggestions to be taken seriously. Sorry, it just doesn't work for me.

Well, sometimes I have to dress up for work (or just feel like wearing a skirt) so I appreciated the suggestions. I thought the leg warmers in particular were an excellent suggestion, and I liked the suggestion about wedge heels, too. I don't think the article said that anyone HAD to dress that way to ride a bike, but if you do happen to ride one and you sometimes wear skirts, it's nice to know what worked for someone else.
