Short skirt cycling-have you/would you?

[Trigress]

I have the same dress as Gnat, and I think I might have caused a few heart attacks when I wore it for a sprint session last Friday - the shorts that came with it are really short and as with all other shorts that are supposed to go only a few inches down my thigh it ended up in a nice little roll around my crotch. This looked rather interesting when sprinting I'm sure... But it's really comfy!

Warning though: do not leave cellphones in the pocket when sprinting, they fall out.

OK, you just answered my question. Now, if we could just invent a cycling dress with longer shorts...

[Zen]

Wear your own shorts. That outfit would be better if the shorts were the same length as the top.

[gnat23]

Yeah, nothing preventing you from wearing your own standard length shorts under the dress, they're not attached in any way.

On the other hand, I'm pleased that I now have these supershort padded shorts that I can wear under other dresses, too.

Now if only that cute little dress came with the cute little body I'd be all over it... you are too darling, gnat! If I had your bod, I'd be wearing that dress everywhere around town (not trying to be creepy- just sayin').

Yeah, what she said!

Plus - those socks are just AWESOME!

I have another pair of Castelli shorts that aren't bibs (I normally wear bibs), and I'm going to use those in the future.

Thinking of buying that Terry cycling tunic. It would be a dress on me and I could wear my Shebeest S Pros underneath; they are shorter than my other shorts.
Looking at that Terry sale catalog is like bike porn for me.....

I love skirts. They hide flaws and are non-confining.
I bought three of these and the Terry Tunic which is long enough on me that it looks like a dress. I do wear tri shorts under it.

I ordered the Whatever Skort from Athleta. Just got it and I LOVE IT! (The red one is on sale btw.)

Thanks Zen!

Gnat I like the Vans!

I have a '57 Schwinn Corvette that I ride from my library to the other school offices. It's my "campus bike." (Actually my DH said I had to get rid of one so I keep it at work.)

I find it most fun when I am wearing an above the knees skirt in heels- not high heels mind you- I'm not that sort of girl. If it's breezy I have to hold it down with one hand.

Why does that woman look so sad riding her bike? Poor thing- must be that wool button-up-the-neck dress. I'd be sad looking in that get-up, too.

I also think you get some extra clearance from cars when wearing a skirt or something similar.

Had a guy in a tractor pull way off the road for me as I rode by in my flowerdy skort.

Oh, it's only because she doesn't have the dog in the basket yet.

I bike in a skirt pretty much every day. My commute to work is only 2.5 miles and in the summer I almost always wear skirts/dresses. I never have any troubles.

I just ordered the Athleta skort, too. I've been trying to resist ever since this thread started, but it just looks too cute. And we're going into our spring now, so it will definitely be put to good use.
