I can only image the sight I made peddling along trying to hold the skirt down just far enough to cover the top of my stockings. It was a case of holding the handlebars with one hand while pulling first on one side of the skirt and then the other. Trousers were not really the thing for a young woman in the 60s. It was all mini skirts, back combed hair and thick black make-up around the eyes – very Dusty Springfield.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940947180711901588.post-45215371870578764082015-01-23T07:04:40.562+00:002015-01-23T07:04:40.562+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940947180711901588.post-18076604730394205212015-01-23T04:12:55.386+00:002015-01-23T04:12:55.386+00:00Ah...the perfect match with the rubber heels.
