    I don't kilt up when I ride my motorcycle for simple safety concerns of exposed skin potentially ending up in contact with blacktop, but when I ride my horses, I usually am trail riding, and we go through some pretty tight spots at times, with some very grabby twigs, branches, thorns, and female equestrians. For that reason I typically ride wearing my heavier cotton duck utility kilt. Yes, it wrinkles the pleats and/or apron, but I'm not showing my horses so I don't really worry about it much.

    Oddly enough, no one asks to ride in my saddle anymore, either.

    On a road bike your legs are vertical so the kilt is manageable. Not so on a recumbent bike. Legs are too far forward so the kilt becomes an air scoop. Tried it once with a Utilikilt as an experiment. Rode 50 feet down the driveway and turned around changing back into shorts. Fortunately there are no pictures to post.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
