I used to ride over 150 km a week working at a bike store, now I have gotten into other things like kilts. Have not even thought about trying to ride a bike with the kilt on

[Retro Red]

I'm strictly a commuter cyclist; have been for many years; no road racing or off-road cycling; though Phoenix has a lot of great mountain & off-road trails (just don't ride too close to the jumping cactus!).

I'm currently riding a Gary Fisher Tiburon. I ride most days to work (about 8.3 miles each way) & if I've got the time, I prefer riding my bicycle rather than driving my car within about a 15 mile radius or so. (There's been an oil crisis for at least 35 years now, in case you hadn't heard. ) Yep, I even ride when it's 110+ - lots of water & thank God for sunblock!

I don't ride kilted - I ride too hard & sweat too much - the kilt would be a mess. Plus, when I kick my leg over the crossbar, I'd answer "The Question" for anyone in viewing distance opposite me.

Here I am ready to head off to work - the saddlebags contain my toiletries & change of clothes, above them is my briefcase w/ laptop & resting on top of the briefcase right behind my seat is my kilt roll.

Ride a bicycle often for yours & Mother Earth's health!

Mountain biker here. Own a 1994 vintage Trek 930 steel hardtail. When I get myself another UK or other casual kilt, I'll ride kilted. I've done it before with other unbifurcated clothing, and found that it's no big deal, as long as said piece of clothing is kilt-length, and actually more comfortable than shorts or other trousered garments, even in the winter.

Garage is a mess, and the pic is a crrrappy cameraphone pic, but, here's the bike...

Forgot to metion that since that pic was taken, I've removed the toe clips/straps (farked up my left ankle by wearing worn running shoes and inserting my feet into the cages), and have replaced the saddle with an older Selle Italia Flite saddle, which is more comfortable than the stock Trek saddle.

I recently got a road bike that I love (Redline something or other). I've ridden infrequently for casual exercise, and trying to ride more often lately. Unfortunately, I live at least 20-25 miles from anywhere that I commute to on a daily basis, so at this point that's not an option, which makes me very sad

I do try to ride as often as I can, though

Got any way to carry a bike in the back of your vehicle? I usually leave my bike in the back of my Volvo wagon, so it's handy whenever I come across a trail or a decently sized park where I can ride for a while.

Cannondale Super V mountain bike (1998 with many upgrades - I've replaced/upgraded everything except for the handlebars), low-end Bianchi road bike (with many upgrades), no-name commuter bike (bought the ex-Diamondback frame at a garage sale for $1, built it up for commuting).

Unfortunately, not riding much lately, due to a strange shoulder pain that won't go away. Might be a pinched nerve. Ug.

Not right now... I'm looking at getting that together though.

[The Kilted Reverend]

I have just recently gotten back into riding a bike. Have never riden kilted...hmmm... oh back to the topic at hand. I have a Trek 3700 mountain bike that has not seen a mountain or trail since leaving the bicycle store.

Slainte,
