Too bad so many women like to wear the less practical stuff--that makes it harder for the rest of us when we are shopping for business clothes etc.
I am totally with you there! I debate with all my high heel wearing friends that it's just modern-day footbinding. You can't REALLY run in those things. And don't get me started on women's careerwear... all polyester, all the time. It's one of the reasons I became a fashion designer and make my own clothes. I want practicality!!
And makeup... ick... never saw the allure. I have this horrible fear of the stuff. I always wondered how guys could stand kissing that nasty stinky powdery flesh...
</irrational fear>
Anyway back on topic, I'm still scratching my head as to why a cyclist would yell at you. But don't worry about it, unless it happens regularly. In which case you might want to go kick some butt... via kindness, or your preferred method of dealing with mean people
