Lesson in bike riding

The offices in Amsterdam are professional dress. Unlike the US business casual, or business appropriate in the Indianapolis office, this means that everyone wears a suit and tie (men) or similar for women. This morning I learned that when wearing a long skirt with no slit, it is impossible to peddle a bike unless you hitch the skirt up to your waist. That creates an interesting balancing act as you try to peddle carrying a backpack in high heels and trying not show the entire world your underwear. Never would have thought about that before, but now I know (and so do you).
