costume on a bike for Halloween -- suggestions?

I'm doing something similar to gnat's photo this year, I got little miss muffet from the spirit store:

It's really cute with the petticoat. Under that I've got bike capris and I think I'll wear pink/black striped knee highs as well. The large teen size actually fits me (its $20 less then the adult sizes)... and what's cool about these is they are not the cheap spandexy things that leg ave. has, instead this one is made of real fabric. They have a bunch of different versions.

The only thing I dont trust is the cheap zipper on the back so I'm getting some ribbon with grommets in it and sewing that in its place to make it a lace-up back.

this is a perfect length for wearing bike tights/shorts underneath, and it looks just too freakin cute! It's sexy but still mostly covered up. the petticoat is what makes it though, I tell you what!!!

Ivona with your trained fashion design wizardy, you could make and sell all sorts of costumes.

To make your costume less cutesy, you could always attach some beer steins to your handlebars..or attach a tray across your handlebars or bike rack that has a row of beer steins. Be the cycling beer-totin' fraulein!

I'm sure that would make me very popular, lol!

I'm going to race in a rainy, muddy CX race dressed as Lady Gaga.
