same here.. I have a very expensive custom-fit touring bike that doubles as a slow road bike with a diamond frame.. first bike I could put feet on the floor.

Most of the time, 'adult' bikes are too large. The bike I bought at age 12 remained too large for me...

While I don't ride with skirts anymore and never do on the touring bike, I used to ride with skirts all the time when I was in secondary school up to age 25. It is plain silly to ride with cycling clothes if you're only covering up to 5 km each way... I love a bike that has chainguards, coat guards and has a step through frame so that in theory I could be wearing a bride's gown.

I know women who got married and rode a bike to their wedding ceremony in full bridal wear (also holds true for husbands)..

Heck, in the NLs we even have philharmonic harmonies that ride a bike while playing.. that's where you need that 'stupid' sit-up-and-beg bike for..
Never meant for speed, but wonderful for practical use around town in your regular clothes...
