In warm weather, I wear normal shorts or skorts - I love that there are cute skorts out there now. I don't know that anyone has ever honked at or harassed me when I was wearing a skort. However, I tend to pick longer styles that look more modest. (I ride to church in the morning as well as school, and although the daily mass crowd is pretty casual, that doesn't mean I'd be comfy wearing either spandex or an overly short skirt).

In cool weather, I'm strictly a jeans girl, although occasionally I'll extend to some fleece leggings in really cold/rainy weather.

The one and only piece of athletic apparel that I cannot dispense with is a sports bra. No bike shorts here. I've tried them and found them to be more trouble than they were worth. If I'm doing OK in street clothes, why bother? If I'm going more than 25 miles I dab on a little Bodyglide, which doesn't seem to stain. Depending on the weather I might go ahead and pack a change of clothes. It's hard to dress for sitting in a 65 degree library all day, and then to ride 5 miles home in +100 degree heat.

I had a very funny moment on tour this spring, when I asked a hotel owner for some directions and mentioned that I was on a bicycle tour. "You're touring? Really?? You don't look like it! You don't have the clothes!" She then pulled out the huge registry book that she keeps for bicycle tourists for me - I never would have seen it otherwise! (The hotel was on the ACA Southern Tier route, so they gets lots of cyclist traffic.)
