Having read the other postings I now get it but in upstate NY we word it " I don't know who p*ssed in your corn flakes"

Until recently I ran a bicycle clinic and a small rural town and would hop on a bike for a test ride or to run to the parts store for grease or tools, a 4yd box doesn't seem to have many issues if you sit on the pleats for a short distance.
I love the guards and may have to buy a couple pairs, one for my daughter who really likes her dresses and one for my Raleigh all arounder. Found it for 20.00 at a yard sale only 2 years old and unused, tossed a set of Chris king wheels on that cost 3x what the bike was new, a racing triple crank, 9sp cassette from 7sp, drop bars, sti levers and a rack. Those guards could round out keeping the kilt safe but I might start getting some funny looks from the wife. Some form of cycling short seems like a must. Would agree with whoever said these show the more utilitarian nature on the bike in Europe, worked in shops as a mechanic, though always did sales as well, and I've never heard the these till now. Closest I can recall is seeing old Raleigh 3sp Nottinghams with rear fenders that had solid sides to protect dresses but those were rare, old, and just a factory item. They were usually what forced me to get out the whitworth wrenches so I tended to just see them as nuisances.
