    I've never found it a problem cycling in a kilt which most of us did to and from school in younger days.

    Really? That's very interesting, I would have thought that to be a bit issue. I must mention I also move my sporran to my left side, as it can wrinkle the apron if you ride everyday from my experience. The pin helps to make up for that a bit.

    I may have to give this a try, knowing how windy it gets across the pond. To be honest I like the look of the kilt pin as well. Thanks for the info!

    I don't understand how a kilt pin would help. It is only supposed to be through the top apron.
    Can you enlighten me how it would help?

    I have a large, vintage blanket pin. It's pretty heavy and keeps the apron from flapping when it's windy. Most newer "safety pin" style pins are not that heavy.
