bike chick tip

happy wednesday! today i am bringing you my bike chick outfit post! this outfit was from a couple of weekends ago...some of you may find my shirt very  familiar :D

 for this ride the mister and i went to the park that day and it was so so hot!! actually quite unexpected really which was nice. so for this bike outfit i am wearing a thrifted paisley skirt i hemmed...took off about10 inches of this bad boy...my owl shirt from one of my favorite online stores...modcloth and my black sandles... hair up in milkmaid braids...oh and that really awesome necklace i won!


unbeknown to you is that under this skirt i have black volleyball shorts on. i always wear these whenever i ride in a skirt or dress...that way i am not self conscience about anyone seeing my undies...all they see is black little shorts nothing more nothing less!



so that is my tip for all you skirt wearing bikers out there BUT if you are going to wear anything longer then my skirt...say if i hadn't cut the skirt and hemmed it...you would need to get a skirt guard to protect your clothes from getting caught in the chain and gears...that i will show you in another post :D  but if you are wearing that short skirt even though people might think they see your underwear...they really aren't....as long as it makes you feel comfortable to go out there and ride your bike while being a lady then that is all that matters :D happy riding!

just another little reminder to leave a comment on my blogloving giveaway to be entered for the prize ;D

  1. I love your owl shirt so much! I think I probably said the same thing last time you wore it, but it's just that great! ;) I usually wear bathing suit bottoms under dresses/skirts when I bike, even though they aren't much better than underwear I guess haha! I like the volleyball shorts idea though! Good thinkin' chica! :)

  4. Those shorts are such a good idea, I really must get myself a pair...I usually just avoid wearing skirts when I'm cycling...But I cycle almost everyday and I like wearing skirts! This is a perfect solution! Great blog! :)

  6. gorgeous outfit (as always), love the skirt (& the fact it's paisley, cool) and I'm so pleased I'm not the only one who wears tiny shorts under skirts when biking (although not for a while - Mum's still got my bike, but I spoke to her about it the other day, so fingers crossed :) ) Look forward to hearing your tips on longer skirts! xx
