We had a fantastic ride today. It was sunny and dry, with a cool breeze. We had 10 riders and everyone mostly behaved.

Surprised Indy is able to be out cavorting around the countryside with the threat of the railroad strike looming.

Last night, while grinding up a local climb on my MTB, I passed a guy wearing a kilt. To complete the package of resplendent manliness, his machine was a fully-rigid singlespeed.
At the top of the climb, I spent a bit of time chatting with the kilted gentleman and his riding partner (wife, I assume). Very nice folks who - it turns out - who know a bunch of people I know.

"Nae, lass! It's all good as new!!!"
So, you didn't make any jokes about, "Shouldn't you be riding a step-through frame?" or such like?
The Older Boy's then-girlfriend either convinced him to buy a kilt, or bought him one. He liked it, and for a while he wore it a lot. Then she broke up with him, and it's languished in his closet since. To be fair, though, he wasn't heartbroken by the breakup, because the relationship itself was more traumatic.

A kilt does seem like an awfully comfortable and practical bit of attire for longing around the house. Since I'm on the verge of having a kid-free residence, maybe it's time to explore my Scottish roots.
