Riding with a skirt?

Postby Setok on Thu May 24, 2007 11:00 am

Has anyone tried that? Is it possible to do? The lady almost always wears one and was worried that would not work ...

I would say no to the skirt for A-bike. The bike has a top tube, which make it almost impossible for anyone who wears skirt to get onto the saddle.... :?

However, A-bike's wheels never catch long coat or skirt like other bicycles do though.

If you have an access to those shop who offers test ride, it maybe good to let her try A-bike. Maybe she can come up with some ideas to get around it. :wink:

I just had a chat with my girlfriend on this issue, and she strongly opposed to my opinion.

She said she can demonstrate how it works later tonight, so I'll take a photo and upload it here. :D

Cheers! Unfortunately, to my knowledge there are no shops in Finland that sell A-Bikes ...

That just adds to the appeal, though!

It's possible to ride, but definitely the top tube gets in the way to make the rider with skirt look a little awkward. Loose fit skirt seems better?

The shorter the skirt, the better I say!!
