I went out on the bike this afternoon. It is very warm here at the moment, around 27c, and very muggy as well because of the clouds, so I didn't want to wear a lot. Solution: a kilt. I have a simple one but that's enough. That combined with a light, short-sleeved shirt and sandals was my outfit and I rode for about 26km. There was a lot of wind so the kilt blow to the side quite often. Most of the way I saw no one so I didn't see any need to cover up. Occasionally there were walking or bike-riding people so then I pulled the kilt back which most of the time – not always – would stay in place. Barely anyone seemed to notice that I didn't have underwear on, and if they did they didn't respond to it. I doubt that more than 2 people actually saw it.
I can really recommend riding a bike with a kilt on.
An interesting experience, Paul, and a good solution for warm muggy weather. I had thought it was traditional (for 100s of years) not to wear anything under a kilt.
HB: since when do YOU wear a kilt? I mean … like, or anything else?
I was making a joke Allen, tho I have considered it in order to go biking.
Nothing worn under my kilt. Everything is in perfect working order.
There are 100 opinions on underwear and kilts. I prefer not to, others do. To each their own.
I would try something like that but I fidget too much would end up with the kilt around my tummy and being bare down below…lol
It's worked for a few centuries for a lot of Scots! And that's usually meant not wearing knickers as well, I have been told.
Although we have been known to wear lipstick under the kilt.
Well it certainly depends upon how the lipstick is applied … 8^}
Great idea paul I must try that!
I think people were more surprised about me wearing "a skirt" than anything else. *grin*
It was really very nice riding that way – nothing was tight.
