Or maybe I'm being way too logical about this, but perhaps the larger group of women who regularily cycle in skirts (not skorts) and dresses, are not on TE/would shun TE.

Great Knotted, that you can do it skirts, etc. I can imagine for myself, I would be thinking too much about my clothing during the ride, flapping open or stains.

I would also have to change my style back to what I used to wear..25 yrs., more long, flowing skirts, flower-child/bohemian like.
