So I’ve wandered around the house all day wearing women’s clothes.
I find it reassuringly comfortable, and it makes me smile.
Want to make something of it?

@SVXY Again, it doesn't say that riding three or more abreast is inconsiderate. That's just your opinion, which counts for nothing.

Black bike in a black room with minimal lighting. Marketing people eh?

That’s honestly the best 32” bike I’ve seen yet. Avona’s road bike is also beautiful except for the tall stack height, if they ever release a race bike I’m in.

32 inch wheels are here to stay until the next new wonder product hits the market...

@Gd29 Redshift regularly have sales with 25% off, so you should be able to pick them up for under £40 at some point

@SVXY Yet again it's highly impressive how are you know the exact circumstances of this incident, now down to the exact type of footwear Ms.Tanton was sporting at the time. There are numerous types of all-terrain/hiking sandals that have far better grip than a standard pair of trainers. And once again do explain how having shoes without gaps in the uppers would have prevented Dick from driving straight into her from behind? No actually, don't bother.

@SVXY Of course because cycling on a 60mph road is far more dangerous than cycling in a 30mph zone and you need footwear with the strongest grip to react quicker if needed

@SVXY So sandals are permissible footwear for cycling if you're riding at 15 mph in a 30 mph zone but they are not permissible footwear for cycling if you are riding at 15 mph in a 60 mph zone? I'm afraid this is how trolls always give themselves away because clearly no human being with the capacity to operate a computer with sufficient adroitness to post a reply could genuinely be that stupid.

mdavidford It says you can ride 2 abreast and must have consideration for other road users. So if you ride three or more abreast you could be prosecuted for careless cycling with your inconsideration for other road users under the highway code used as evidence by the CPS

I’ve got a G-Line. I quite like the look of some of that bling. I can’t imagine any of it will be cheap though. :( It’s already quite an expensive bike.

It’s all a bit busy for my tastes – understated always floats my boat, what’s wrong with a little black dress, such a versatile garment… so I’m told.

Have to add that the pirate element brings somthing to the table though 🙂

Interesting, but it’d be a whole lot edgier and more challenging to pre-conceived notions of gender-based cycling style if you were wearing one of these…

it’s just a wrap-around ‘skort’ so any padding is, er, natural, or whatever shorts you wear underneath, i’m not sure that “does a scotsman wear anything under his kilt” rules apply

Showing my ignorance, I thought a skort was a combination of shorts and skirt – so shorts with an added wrap around bit for those who feel to exposed in just shorts.
I’m confused now though, what’s the difference between your skort and a normal wrap around skirt?

it’s a technical microfiber fabric, with a rear stretch triangle so you can shimmy your hips in comfort through singletrack, and it has a little front pocket for puncture patches/condom/tampon (delete as applicable).

But aside from the condom it sounds like it is giving you less protection than a pair of shorts?
