awesome. well i will get to try. we have our first really warm day, yesterday was also warm. i wore a cotton shirtdress over the weekend and tested out my new ride. it's not too hard with a high top tube, it's the same for me as a slightly angled top tube.
i still need to check out gap, i looked thru the website but didn't find athleta. i got some things from terry bicycle clothing and hope to be pleased when it arrives...? some local women commuters are talking about beta brand as it's more "professional" looking and can translate well between bike ride and the office.
been using a headband for the commute under the helmet and wow, it's great to not have sweat pour into my eyes!
wearing my lock also presents a comfort issue. are there any pads i can wear around my waist under my chain? the chain is rubbing my hip bones when i pedal and it's not the most comfortable thing. i've seen people have back pockets for their u-locks.
