It took about half an hour of slow riding, so if we get fitter and better at it, it'll take no time at all!
BUT, a drama... Riding in big skirts without a mud flap or basket at the back means a dirty/greasy smear has appear on the edge of my dress (it's the one I made for Octoberfest, if you can recall) and I feel pretty bad, because I don't really care at all. I feel more bad that I'm like: "Oh well, it was an easy dress to make... I can chop the hem to make it shorter."
No Fear. That's what my helmet says, and darlings, I have no fear for stains.
As for my Christmas day dress, I should have made it a little more clear, I had to wear the stockings on the Wednesday prior to Christmas, but on Christmas day I was ok without the tights. It was kinda cold though for us in Melbs... a not really hot at all cloudy day. It's starting to look hot though, and after riding today in the glorious blue sky and sunshine, it now FINALLY feels like summer.
Yay! xoxo
Lovely!! I started riding my bike too.xx
ReplyDeleteCorey and I are planning on buying bikes when we get back from Europe in April. I can't wait to be able to go for rides around town. It will be so much fun!
ReplyDeleteYou should sit on your skirt! I've ridden in them lots and never stained them :) Trick is, like I said, to sit on them. You have to get on by swinging your leg over then sitting back. You can't do the fancy start-biking-then-swing-leg-over bit.
ReplyDeleteor get the bike fenders, then nothing gets splashed up your back!
ReplyDeleteO dear, such a pretty dress, I'm sad if it has bitten the dust...
ReplyDeleteBut I get what you mean about not caring. Sometimes I'm secretly relieved if even a favourite is ruined, as it means a perfect excuse to sew something new and even more fabulous, guilt-free.
i used to commute on a bike all the time and had the same problem with dresses. i'll use that as the reason i stopped riding...not laziness, of course ;)
ReplyDeletecute dress!!!
I am more than just a little jealous that you were able to wear that adorable dress on Christmas while I was hunkered down in chunky sweater layers. It looks great on you. - Katy
