Can I offer some advice?
If you own a flared skirt, whose hem has a tendency to live around your shoulders rather than your knees, even on a non-windy day, do not wear said skirt to cycle in.
Especially do not wear said skirt to cycle in on a windy day.
Especially do not wear said skirt to cycle in on a windy day along one of the main roads out of town.
And please remember that, because the skirt is flared, there is much material available to become caught between the back wheel and the brake pad.
This, my friends, is why I wear opaque tights...
