I couldn't believe how great an idea this was, especially as someone who is loath to ruin clothing and shoes with bike grease! Unfortunately the online article (http://momentumplanet.ca/gear/return-rational-dress) doesn't show the image, but I thought I'd mention it here since you just recently wrote about fashioning spats.
