The Power of the Skort!

[Dianyla]

Hmmm, I think this phenomenon has been observed before.

I think I get slightly more kindness when I'm wearing capris over my spandex and have my monster bookbag on.

ETA: Congrats on your "padding problem". Wish I had that problem!

"I did get snorted at by one other cyclist, but who cares? I was going faster than he was anyway...."



See that Knotted? Careful now, or your skort could get a snort

Here I thought Dianyla was going to refer to the old b & w movies where a car would run out of gas and the guy would send his gal to hitch-hike. She would then, of course, seductively lift her skirt, showing the proper amount of "cheesecake" for the era, until she caught the eye of a moving vehicle who would abruptly slam on his brakes for her.

I'd be happy to get a snort, or a wave, or a howdy. A wolf whistle would probably shock the heck out of me. I don't get those. I think I posted a while back about a friend who is a UPS driver whistling at me when she drove by, and I didn't even realize she was whistling at ME until she called my cell.

I wave or nod at bikes, and always wave/nod/mouth "thank you" to cars who give me right-of-way, even if I had right-of-way anyway.

I doubt that in my case the cars were nice because they could look up my skort or see my pretty gams. More likely they thought, "Oh, jeez, look at that poor woman trying to ride a bike. Better give her some room."

(though I'd like to think they were admiring something... at least the bike!)

And if I "seductively lifted my skirt" the cars would go by FASTER! Thereby endangering all the real cyclists out there!

Nah, they'd rubberneck you and head into the closest phone pole!

Never underestimate the persuasive charm of a redhead.

Like the Joni Mitchell song "Edith and the Kingpin" "...with charm to sway"

Awww, you made me blush....
