    Cannondale makes the most normal looking and nicest walking SPD shoes I know of. Not neccesarily racer specific(but I use them for that too) but they are great all-day shoes. FC-610 is the model.

    Shebeest skort

    I've been eye-ing both the Terry and Shebeest skorts. Anyone tried both and have a recommendation?

    I haven't tried both, but I've got two Terry racer skorts with shorts underneath and like them very much. The fabric, cut, and the shorts are nice. Be advised that the chamois in the shorts of the racer skorts is not really thick. I'd use them for rides of 30 miles or less. They're nice for riding in-town to shops or restaurants since you feel more dressed when you go in places. They run true to size; you don't need to order up a size as with some cycling apparal.

    wrap skirt like Terry

    I just found this wrap skirt online, similar to the ones I was looking at in the Terry catalog - but only $9.99 on sale! Sorry I haven't received it yet to let you know how it is, but it looks like it'll do the trick! See link

    That's a great price, and very cute. But for me, the 14" length on the Eddie Bauer skirt is a bit short. Terry actually changed their skort lengths (on the wrapper, at least) to 16" on the short version and 19" on the tall version. I'd actually like something in between (like 17"!). I always carry my Terry Wrap (the version without the shorts - I can always throw it on top of my shorts if I need it, but I'm more likely to wear it as my after cycling attire) when I travel - it's great to have something lightweight & small that looks nice.

    But let us know how the Eddie Bauer wrap skirt works for you.
