I would love to do this.
Several problems though: It's very hilly where I live, so I need a bike with lots of gears.
Hilly means I get quite sweaty (so I prefer wicking gear).
I would still need to wear padded shorts under my flowing frock.
I would still wear a helmet.
The thought of riding in a lovely floral dress, with an old fashioned basket on the front of the step through bike really appeals.
What’s the point in wearing normal clothes if you have to specially select those normal clothes to be good for cycling in?
So you can be both comfy when cycling AND not have to change on arrival at work 🙂

Staying in my lycra achieves the same thing with the added bonus of minimising people interrupting me to ask things like "did you get my email"
I was so dreamily occupied with wondering what Geex wears

Regrettably that's all I can read there and it's very disturbing.
Off to Netherlands with the family for half term, can't wait. Riding from our door straight into the forest, local towns and places of interest - all in complete safety and for my family in normal clothes. Unfortunately I will be wearing lycra as I've been entered in a xc/gravel race......
My mother in law (Dutch) rides around 70km a week yet like most dutchies doesn't consider herself a 'cyclist'
bunnyhop - step through ladies bikes are still geared. Nothing stopping you slowly going up a hill or two.
