I think the bike is a wonderful find; I have bike envy.... definitely can see a small basket on it.
and I vote for the print skort.

They barely look like cycling shoes!

Darndarndarn! Why can't cool shoes ever come in my size??? (43). I could do with some barely-look-like-bike-shoes to wear with a skort for commuting. Come Spring, that is. Now we're in Fall we're fast headed out of skort season here and into long pants, wool liners, rain suits. With those my clunky mtb bike shoes don't look out of place. Oh well. Sigh. Maybe bike sandals next Spring. That'd look ok with a cargo skort, right?

wow, already, Duck? I rode into work yesterday wearing my shortest shorts and a singlet... but then, we're having a very welcome late summer heatwave.

What about the Terry Scooter capris? They have a light chamois, come in black and gray and look pretty good off the bike, too. I wear them around town to do errands on my refit mtb that i use as a commuter. Not sure about the shorts; I have liners that go under reg. shorts, but the liners are longer than most of my shorts! I also wear skorts or mtb shorts with regular tops that are wicking.
I couldn't ride even 7 miles without a chamois. In fact, last week when i rode 1 mile to our community pond on my commuter bike, in my bathing suit, i was hurting by the time I got there.

The Spinnakers are great for just wearing every day too. You don't really see the thin chamois. Originally Posted by Robyn Maislin
