I love love love my athleta skort!
Was it this thread that someone mentioned using clothes pins to clip the skirt to the bike? I tried that but found that just clipping the pins (3-5) to the front of the skirt works better for me. Weighs the skirt down just enough. The pins closest to the top tube hit it and clink-clink, reminding me of wind chimes! A pleasant announcement that I'm about to pass!

Hey jllm, maybe think of how you could design a skort with your batik designs.

:slaps forehead: a clothespin! Genius!
Yep, on my commuter, I wear skirts and ride all the time. I don't ride far (1/2 mile
) and usually ride one handed, the other holding down a flowy skirt. The shorter ones, my knees by default, get closer unless the skirt is stretchy. I usually wear some kind of leggings anyway.
LOVE that biking dress! Where can I buy one?

I rode my bike in a skirt for the first time ever this morning! I was going to an ordination at the cathedral, so for once I dressed up for church (normal for me this summer is my good jeans and a t-shirt). I was wearing compression shorts underneath the skirt, and much to my surprise I ended up a lot more conscious of how low-cut my top was than the way the skirt kept creeping up my legs....
Mounting/dismounting: anyone have any tips? When I was downtown and used the curb, it was simple, but putting a foot down at redlights and getting on and off at home were a little, well, revealing...
