Yesterday I was riding along, wearing sensible cycling attire (vintage dress with full skirt), thinking about the evening ahead. I stopped at some lights, but when I went to go, I couldn't move - looking down, the hem of my dress had got trapped between the top of my wheel and my forks. I was wedged in place by my clothes. I managed to to shimmy over to the side of the road and onto the pavement, and then had to spend some time trying to pull the dress free (ripping it/cutting it was not an option... at one point I thought it might be completely stuck and I fleetingly considered taking the dress off to get a better angle).
Perhaps I need to reconsider my wardrobe.
