Wearing a pair of (vintage) bloomers under my skirt helps keep things classy and modest while riding

this is really rad! great work, r!
Can't we vote for our faves?
So far, bloomer girl gets my pick. Love the matching eyelit on her little flats..
Sure you can vote! But we'd rather have you contribute a bike to bar pic instead so we can vote for you!
Bike to Bar
I always consider riding my bike to work, but I'm sort of terrified of riding without a helmet and other protective gear. I wonder how these girls have gotten past that. Maybe I'm just a little paranoid.
Adiel - scroll a little further down the blog and there's links to some awesome helmet designers who make cool, fashionable helmets - Nutcase, Bern, Yakkay and Sawako Furuno. If it makes you feel safer, then wear it!
When I commute to work, I always feel safer when I wear my helmet riding down busy thoroughfares.
thanks, KT. and thanks remixers.
@adiel, i always where a helmet when I'm riding next to cars. Sometimes I wear gloves too, must mostly for warmth and not so much for protection. One can wear a dress and a helmet at the same time, and boots if it makes them feel safer. :D
