I think I remember hearing that Sacha and family are car-free. The volvo would be just the bike to take to a parent-teacher conference while still wearing clothes with authority. Face it, off the bike, biking clothes just don't convey the sense of stability you need when dealing with institutions. (On the bike, its an entirely different matter, of course.)

All this to say, if my husband made that bike for me, I'd ride it. And I'd try to look feminine, too. With some care, I'd even consider a skirt.

And then I'd go out on weekends on my other bike and whoop some tail...
