Biking in a kilt

[KMCMICHAEL]

I wear biking shorts underneath. I do have to remember remove the kilt pin as it bangs the top bar.

Digging that Rivendell! There will forever be a place in this retro grouch's heart for Grant.

OP, yeah, bike shorts or at least boxer briefs are totally the way to go. Along with keeping your equipment covered, and I'd think it'll be more comfortable as well. I can't imagine I'd enjoy things being free to move about on the saddle without shorts to keep it all contained.

Thanks Bob, I am a big Rivendell fan. I have an Atlantis also,both set up the same with Brooks saddle.

If one has not tried biking shorts they should, I never ride over 5 miles without them. Combining them with the large frame bike and Brooks saddle, I went from doing an uncomfortable 35 miles to easily doing 100.

I am not modest by any stretch, but do believe others might prefer that I cover my biking shorts at my age. The cotton kilts work great for that. It is however tartan day and I might try the wool.

Yeah. I also bought a pair of biking shorts after that ride. Especially useful when kicking around with a kickbike.

No offence intended, you wear what you like but that looks more like a flared pleated mini skirt than a kilt! Can't see why you would wear a kilt pin with it, I would have thought it would pull it out of shape.

It is a UT kilt and probably a little short for me as I am larger. I wear a kilt pin with it because of strong winds when hiking.

I do not really know what your point is, but I am difficult to offend. Besides, I would look good for my age in a mini skirt! Maybe you should be mindful of who serves your cereal in the morning.

I am sorry, but I am not familiar with this comment. Your point is?

Sorry, it is a vague reference to an idiomatic expression from the American South, "who peed in your Post Toasties?"

On second reading, I edited, but left the reference. Just doing my part to bridge the vast gap between our two versions of a similar language.

Why are you not out fishing?

No fishing for migratory fish on Sundays in Scotland. Its not a law I think, but just one of those conventions that we observe.

Post Toasties? What the devil are those?

Just a brand of corn flake breakfast cereal, my friend.
