    I love skirts and dresses on bikes. +1 to the Sheila Moon lingerie liner under anything. I have a couple of Nuu Muu dresses which are just excellent, and a Sheila Moon Bo Peep dress in blue, which is full-on adorable. Could you borrow a dutch style bike from somewhere, then you could wear whatever you want?

    What a great idea for a wedding!

    I've been bike commuting in skirts and dresses once or twice a week this summer-- trips less than 5 miles, so no bothering with shorts with chamois, just compression-style shorts for the sake of modesty. I look for fairly full skirts in knit materials, knee length or a little shorter. There's a lot out there that will work just fine! I also am mindful of the cut on tops-- even on my trek 7.3fx, there have been a couple times when it felt like everyone could look straight down my top and see everything when I reached for the handlebars.

    Including bikes in the wedding, how cool!

    I looked at the Sheila Moon outfits and the Nuu Muu. How cute! But I swung by the antique/used store because you never know, I might get lucky, and I found 2 dresses for $6 each! The nicer one might be too long but I'm going to try it out. With compression shorts I think either dress would be fine. I wanted lace-trimmed white shorts but got tired of looking (even online) quickly. I really don't like shopping (even online)! I still have to figure out shoes.

    Heels are actually great for casual rides because the soles tend to be stiff.
