skirts

The NYPD has been telling women not to wear skirts, because the suspected sexual assaulter might take that as a signal there's easy access.

Tourists' cameras flashed, high-fives were exchanged, and a chorus of bells trailed the group of cyclists as they made their way downtown in the warm spring air.

The NYPD was vague about whether an officer threatened to ticket a cyclist for riding while wearing a skirt, but we have a new theory about what happened. And it involves time-travelling bluecoats from 1899.
