oomis – if you were extremely thirsty, and all you had available to you was
poison – $1
water – $50
would you buy the poison or the water? if ppl realized how terrible for them it was not to be tznius they would pay for the taxi.
i’m so happy that basmelech said that she gave up riding bikes long ago – cuz now i feel slightly more normal for not liking to ride. it’s almost impossible to stay tznius on a bike. if you wear a short skirt, no matter how long the short skirt is, it’s going to fly up in the wind, and you have to CONSTANTLY be pulling it back down, or standing up and wiggling your legs to get the skirt to go back down. it’s just not fun to ride a bike when every second you have to pay attention to your skirt, and also knowing that many times it does fly up and people see and then you feel horrible about yourself.
and if you wear a long skirt, it gets stuck all the time, and can possibly rip the skirt too, and you always have to be stopping to pull it out. plus what if it gets caught while you’re crossing a street or something?
bottom line = there is no realistically tznius way to ride a bike.
therefore = riding bikes is not tznius.
