Knickers are for riding in and pants are for packing. No?

I was wearing my jeans as I was on my way to a conference. The pants were for when I left because I was going on a ride straight after.

lol, sounds reasonable. I'm sure they will decrease the wind resistance and thus the bike will be faster if you ride in knickers. Unfortunately, out of some unfathomable reason, accidents seem to happen a lot around girls riding in knickers.

While we're being picky I'm not sure where "theres" is. I do, however, know that nickers are those who take what is not theirs.

Increases visibility better than a hi vis vest.

Wind chill factor. Also increased sunburn

I don't burn!!!! Perks of being me.

My mother always said to wear clean knickers every day, you never know if you'll be hit by a bus.

Never got that last part though. Because if I got hit by a bus the state of my underwear would probably not be a high priority.

Wow, your mom was very specific. So you can wear whatever you want, as long as you're careful with busses.

My mom voiced it more like "in case something happens to you". That 'something' could mean anything, like getting run over by an ambulance or being abducted by aliens. In any case, I don't think it would be a high priority either.
