Cycling in a skirt

I like long wide skirts. I also like cycling. These two do not unfortunately combine that easily, so currently I'm looking for ways to skirtproof my bike and/or to bikeproof my skirts.

Tried so far:

• Attaching the front and back of the skirt together between the legs with a rubberband. (Works, but not for extremely wide skirts. Shortens the skirt a bit, making it a bit cold on colder weather. Needs to be attached carefully or the rubberband will fall off.)
• Pinning excess fabric to the front with a safety pin or a brooch. (Works on very wide skirts. Causes holes in knitted fabrics. Does not work on stiff fabrics as then the skirt for some reason hikes up ver insistently. Doesn't work at all on narrower skirts.)

To be tried:

• Skirtguards on the back wheel (Not easily available. Hameverkko in Finnish)
• Enclosed chainguards (Not sure whether there can be retrofitted at all.)

Furthers ideas are very welcome.
