Cycling clothing- $ restaurants, galleries, etc.

When I ride to an event, I mostly bring some cityclothes in my backpack.

Except for cycle-commuting to work, where I do change into off-bike clothing, for cycling to other places/events in my cycling gear, I don't change into other type of clothing when I reach the event/destination. 90% of these situations, I'm cycling under 15-20 kms. (1 way)

I honestly do not want to cycle in good street wear..I spend time and money to either find clothing that fits me, quality style and fabric with time I've spent altering it or I've spent time sewing the garment. I'm a petite size (photo says it) and hence, clothing fit/style can be a serious search for me without looking too juvenile. I don't want to damage such clothing prematurely when cycling. Am picky, I was an excellent sewer of my own wardrobe for many years.

If it is an event I want to dress-up, I simply don't cycle but take public transit, etc. Yes, I have strutted onto the subway in a strapless knee-length black dress and pink chiffon shawl with dearie in his tie and suit. In a big metropolitan city, it's not totally unusual to see. For certain, a real copenhagen chic gal would cycle slowly in her attire!

'"At home we call going out in normal clothing "doing like the Phantom".

After all "sometimes the Phantom leaves the jungle, and walks the streets of the city like an ordinary man".'

I just love that!
Ive always looked like a mess,so I figure that helmet hair, 'space suit' and clacky shoes are just as bad as anything else I wear. ( old goth chick, not the best of looks!)
But I do know that even though my hair looks messy, and Im dressed funny, my legs look awesome ( even my bottom looks good , despite chamois).

But as my hubby says, just dont wear the helmet inside!!
What I need is one little black dress, compresses to fit in a pocket , no wrinkling and drip dry!
How about it TE designers?( it could be skorts)!!!

Check Patagonia - I have this dress in black (and teal) and it should fit the bill. I haven't specifically tried to fit it in a jersey pocket, but it packs down well, doesn't get wrinkly, and looks super cute as well.
