Short skirt cycling-have you/would you?

[GLC1968]

I wouldn't wear it to work, but if someone is going to hate me because I am in my 50s and wear mini skirts for casual wear, so be it.

Ah, don't get me wrong - if my legs were better, I'd probably still wear mini-ish skirts for casual wear myself. I just wouldn't wear them to work. Bear in mind, I wouldn't have worn them to work when I was in my early 20's either - just not my style.

And shootingstar - the clothespin thing worked even when I would stop at lights. I did it loose enough that no one would even know it was there, so that left me plenty of 'give' to move around and get off the saddle as necessary. Of course, a couple of times I forgot it was there and went to get off the bike only to fling the little clothespin a few feet from me. Luckily, no one ever got a little wood projectile in the eye!

I just wear what I like.

Well, you're no fun. How can you create a two-page discussion out of that?

PS I wear what I like, too.

I wear skirts alot more now than I used to.

I like tennis, running and golf skorts for around the house, around the pool and even for cycling. I'll even wear a sports bra top and a skort as a bathing suit.

I like the golf length ones best as they are a bit longer.

I don't own a cycling-specific skort, as I figured the padding would be cumbersome for non-cycling activites and I can ride comfortably enough without a chamois.

Hee! This is funny, because I just the other day bought a super-short Castelli cycling DRESS. Comes with shorty padded shorts too! I'd like to think this might be what finally evens out my tan...



-- gnat! (And hey, the boyfriend insisted on riding behind me and never dropped me for once...)

I love that dress!
However, I think my riding companions might have a heart attack if I wore it!

You'd look great in it! Why not?? The others would merely be envious.

Gnat- that is fabulous! You look like Xena warrior princess in pink.
