How do you ride when dressed up - to work, or just going out?



How do you deal with make up in case you sweat, or it rains?

Short, or very long skirt/dress and a bicycle? How to stay chic and still ride?



What kind of bicycle suits that use best?

Thanks in advance in the name of all that will be helped.

Answers and tips can be sent here, or to my e-mail: bike.bikegremlin@gmail.com

When my partner and I go out by bike, she often wears a sort of coulott (from Terry I think), collared sport shirt (Duluth trading) and deck shoes. She either rides her touring or road bike. This type of utility riding isn't very stressful, minimal perspiration. If we get dumped on by rain or other weather event, so what - life happens !
Don't make riding difficult or needing special clothes! Running shorts, shirt and shoes are fine !
