  1. Has anyone ridden their uni wearing a kilt? I've recently gotten into
    utilikilts and I'm getting back into uni after about 10 years. I have no
    idea if the combination works.

    I can imagine it might lead to some embarrasing falls.

    If anyone has tried it let me know.

  2. I wouldnt mind riding a kilt and uni, got nothing to be ashamed of so
    yeah... for me i would just go for it, too bad i dont have a kilt

    I do have a huge pink fluffy coat and hat i could wear, probably be
    like a sauna in there but ill do it =p

  3. I rode alongside Rocket in the Seattle Torchlight parade at UNICON in
    2002. Rocket wore a kilt while riding a two-stack uni for the entire
    3½ hours of the parade. He did a fantastic job at it, a feat I doubt
    I'll ever approach. Every once in awhile, I'd ride up beside him and
    lift his kilt a little just to get the crowds going. Quite the fun
    time.

    Maybe once it's warmer out I'll give it a shot. My only worry is that
    the kilt might get caught up in the wheel.

  6. I guess that could happen, i really dont think it would, maybe raise
    your seat higher would help =p

  7. Well the lack of support would make it difficult. Even though it
    violates the first rule of kilts you might want to wear cycle shorts
    underneath. So you're not balls to seat.

  8. My assumption on the logistics of the kilt would be that you'd have the
    back of the kilt on top of the seat and not just your nads, right? If
    that's the case, I think that you'd have plenty of clearance. Go for
    it. I have a colleague at work that picks the very coldest of days to
    wear his urban camo Utilikilt, and it was a riot following him around
    in Tokyo while he was wearing one. The looks were amazing. I'd do it
    but I just haven't gotten over that inhibition yet. I hear it's a very
    free and liberating experience. Have fun.

    Thanks! I think I shall. I get enough looks just wearing the kilt, so
    maybe if I ad the uni folks will only notice one or the other.

    Now I just have to get a new uni since the one I got when I was 10 is a
    bit rusted. I suppose I'll need a muni to really go with the utilikilt.

    As for free and liberating...there's nothing like it.

    Ben

  10. I think a friend of mine has done it, yeah...it worked okay.

  14. Please wear some sort of 'undergarment'
    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:1stBatBW.jpg) under the kilt if it
    is windy or if you are going to be jumping, hopping, doing spins,
    pirouettes, uni spins, or dismounts from a giraffe.

  15. why go through all the trouble of buying kilts? just sneak a skirt out
    of grandma's closet and you'll get the same effect. add in a bra and
    some panties and you'd really have something there.
