She is also very prescriptive, for a young woman. She came out against "cleavage" in the workplace - hey, cleavage happens - and I believe said women should wear pantyhose (sheer tights) at the office even in summertime. <BR/><BR/>Well-known fashion plate Princess Diana famously did her summer walkabouts sans stockings, and in Paris, many chic women never wear them in the summer heat. <BR/><BR/>That said, anything that can convince people to make cycling part of their daily lives is good, corny or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210935752673952814.post-68584889920922929562008-07-22T01:26:00.000+02:002008-07-22T01:26:00.000+02:00Dear CCC,Thanks to your wonderful blog, I've final...Dear CCC,<BR/><BR/>Thanks to your wonderful blog, I've finally started wearing proper work clothes while riding my bike. I started bike commuting by necessity in May, and now I love it. <BR/><BR/>All of your photos (and tags) convinced me to try wearing a dress, which I did last week. Today, I wore a dress and heels. It's much easier than I expected, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. People are shocked when they see me, but I tell them it's easy and fun.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, too for your Style Over Speed blog. That's my new mantra.<BR/><BR/>All the best from Melbourne, Florida, US.<BR/><BR/>~WordnerdyWordnerdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441110723393273531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210935752673952814.post-53614232999303778462008-07-21T19:16:00.000+02:002008-07-21T19:16:00.000+02:00Well, it's the Globe and Mail....

I'm just happy we're convincing people that they can ride without spandex and spd bike shoes here.<BR/>Since the start of the summer I've seen female cyclists in normal clothes jump incredibly in number. The men still seem to be about the same. Note: that is purely my observation, I haven't gone around counting.Samuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794566598064008650noreply@blogger.com
