Commuting in regular clothing?

[shootingstar]

Though I don't wear street clothing anymore on bike and haven't for eons, it's still interesting to read this thread.

I'm still trying to figure out how some women can cycle in longish swirly skirts. I guess it must the chainguard protectors...and something to cover spokes partially. However one doesn't see such bikes hardly here even in cycling-intensive North American cities.

When I do ride in a skirt (extremely rare) I tie it up with an elastic band or a knot if it's long enough...

I biked in my wedding dress but it was relatively short (just below the knee) and the bike had a chain protector.

Do you believe in polygamy? Marry me!

Yes, my bike when I was at Uni had a chain guard and these plastic things that went from the mud-guards over the top of the wheels. I had no problem cycling with longish skirts (and my academic gown streaming out behind).
