Working in London, UK, from time to time, I would observe 25+ motorcycles pull up in the business district. All with black helmets & visors. They would all back into park, together. Each person then removed their helmet - revealing these were all professional women. Each would reach around back, obtain a professional skirt & dress shoes. They put the skirts on over their black leather pants. Once in place, the black leather pants were removed and shoes exchanged. They each picked up a brief case, stepped onto the sidewalk, and walked promptly to their offices. The process was repeated at the end of the day. I worked with many of these women and I gave them all the more respect for 1) using efficient transportation, 2) appropriate conduct under cloudy, rainy and congested conditions, 3) dressing for success in a competitive and vigorous business climate. The women clearly modeled professional demeanor. Even if they returned to their motorcycles after a post-business meal, they were equipped to drive home safely.

Certainly we can take a cue from these women and not wear a kilt while riding a motorcycle (or bicycle).
