I won something!

There's been some talk here in the past about skirts and skorts (which are shorts with a skirt attached), both along the lines of the benefits of wearing them, and how to go about making your own. Just run a search on skirt or skort. Edited to add: Some suppliers call the wraparound-style skirts "wrappers".

It seems like a simple wraparound-style skirt would be fairly simple to make. TE sells a few (all seem to be listed under the skorts category). Terry sells a lot of them, and, as you know firsthand, there's always eBay. Now that you mention it, I'm going on a tour in late May/early June and you got me thinking a wraparound skirt would be a good thing to bring along.

One interesting observation that's been made fairly often here is that motorists seem to be less likely to hassle women cyclists wearing skirts (which of course begs the question would said motorists be less likely to hassle male cyclists wearing skirts .. I suppose it depends on whether they shave their legs. Ba-dum-dum.)
