I have thought of wearing the bolero with other slightly funky looking sporty type clothes. And yes, the skirt does appeal to me. But I keep thinking I am too old... however I don't think anyone in Cambridge will be looking at me as they might here in the suburbs. I could not wear a get up like that as a middle school teacher, but as a student, I am free of all of those constraints.
I actually do like to stop on my regular rides and I am not such an animal rider, as you think, Lisa! It's just that I was on my way to work, so it was annoying.
Emily, I had trouble with arm warmers, too, until I bought the Terry ones in the x/small/small size. Voila! They stay up.
