Summer Dress Days
Even though it’s been a mild winter I’m excited that spring is here. However it seems that winter decided to skip straight to summer with temperatures in the 80’s last week. Everyone was outside welcoming the good weather. I was no different. And I knew exactly how to celebrate the change of season, A polka dot summer dress! Which made me feel like this:
But going from being all bundled up to a summer dresses I noticed a big contrast. And everyone else on the road did too. As I biked around suddenly everybody was… polite.
While it’s nice to feel that everyone is looking out for me for a change, it makes me realize how little people pay attention the rest of the time. Nobody can wear summer dresses every day.
I’ve got certain jeggings that seem to warrant more sexual harassment than other outfits. I totally believe in the dress effect, which is commonly discussed on the bike blogs as “the mary poppins effect”
Shit man! I don’t know what to think about this…….I adore your contributions to all that is biking and humorous and important but I dread having to put on a polka dot dress….An old, bearded, curmudgeon like me in such attire would no doubt invite less than courteous responses from drivers. That said, keep up this most wonderful, and unique, addition to the blogosphere. You’re insights are spot on.
If you’re selling Bikeyface stock, I’m buying.
