Ah, so you’re the other desi bike chick in Philly. I may or may not have seen you once. The sighting (if it was such) almost made me crash into a stop sign.

And yes, it’s all about mobility.

I don’t wear heels at all – so that’s never an issue on bike.

And I’d never be able to wear a skirt on a bike… I’m less concerned about also giving goodie glimpse to any one who wants it… Its just that skirts just impede mobility.

This is true. I am a jealous frump.

“I hope I’m never the girl that falls off my bike :)”

Aw, no worries. We’ll manage. Stay safe.

Geeez what a grump.

She did throw in the possible non-saftey aspects of it, but she her hate for bike chicks was clearly (at least to me) meant as a jealous hate-kind of way.

Your blog is great. BTW – I’m a total klutz too and not super buff either. I have a big scare on my face from walking into the Kimmel center…I hope I’m never the girl that falls off my bike :)

You’re probably right.

Someday, I too will be able to ride to work unscathed.

Yeah, right.

I happened to see a girl in black heels fall off her bike on Broad Street yesterday, which I found both amusing and horrifying. I guess that prompted the rant. Haha, this is the first “girls I hate” post I wrote I think?
