I live in a very bike-friendly town and don't own a car -- for trips across town Car2Go is perfect for me, or when I have the time I love to take my bike for a relaxing and convenient light workout. I have a really cute and fully blinged-out Pashley Princess that I love to pieces - I'm not fixie-bike-messenger-bag hipster.
My problem is, biking takes a huge toll on shoes! I now only wear almond-toe flat shoes/boots with full knowledge that I'll end up scraping the toes and tops of them while out. I wouldn't dare wear patent, suede, or even finely finished leather - so those shoes languish in my closet.
Ladies that also bike - what do you wear? I'm not talking about biking shoes, but basic fashion-conscious shoes that are safe (to you, to the shoes) on short city bike trips.
