    kilted on my bike

    Just to show one can get around town in a kilt without spewing out noxious fumes.



    (hope this works -- if not; look at:

    Way to go Martin S! As someone who commutes every day on a bike (and who has wondered about bike riding while kilted) the webpage and the pic were really appreciated.

    Thanks for that, Rob. Unfortunately the "Try this" link still leads me to gobbledegook.

    Good pic, Martin. I notice that the bike is a ladies model, but I guess that is the way to go - in a kilt! I have cycled from London to Brighton for charity in a mini-skirt (but that's another story!) and, back in the 1960's, I used to ride my Vespa scooter whilst kilted (which was great fun!).

    I think he might well need a "kilt clip" on a gentleman's bicycle Ham!

    Good pic, Martin. I've seen an elderly kilted gentleman riding a bike in Edinburgh but its not something I've tried myself.
