    For long full skirts, my favorite is to reach between my knees, pull the back of the skirt to the front and tuck it in the front of the waistband. Instant Aladin!

    I recently saw something that looks like a magnet you use to stick your skirt to the top tube to keep it from flying up. Two problems, what if you don't have a steel bike, and I doubt it will stay in place when you're getting off the saddle to stop etc.

    Malkin, I think your idea is the simplest and most elegant

    i like the magnet idea. i think if i wore skirts more i would sew a small pocket in my favorite and put the magnet in the pocket then i wouldn't lose it.

    i need to at least pretend i look sexy in spandex. and super-hero-esque

    If you made a DIY magnet pouch and used one of those super strong but tiny earth magnets I bet it would work!

    I like my spandex! It's comfy and makes me feel like a "real" cyclist. I also like to wear skirts over it for fun
