    I sent out an email to our team last night and included a little factoid that Bubba found in The Bicycle by Pryor Dodge. I thought it would help all of you

    The maximum weight of under-clothing (without shoes), approved by the Rational Dress Society, does not exceed seven pounds (Rational Dress Society's Gazette No. 1, April 1888: 1)

    We've come a long way, baby!

    The Rational Dress Society?? Boy Howdy don't ya'll let my MOM see this - she already thinks I have issues with rational dressing! (re: I wear jeans pretty much Everywhere!)
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    This was a real group! Here's a link with a few pix of rational cycling outfits. It mentions that 14 pounds of underwear was normal earlier in the 1800s! We were born at the right time.

    Thanks, Kim! I like Lady Haberton's rational cycling outfit. Perhaps, I'll get one in red for the Top Hat.
