Some interesting stuff I have stumbled upon lately. First, I found this site about Copenhagen Girls. Despite the title, it is rather tame...photos and comments about the ladies of Copenhagen riding their bikes. What is cool about it is that they ride bikes in whatever outfits they are already wearing. They do not change into biking gear to ride. These ladies ride in style. They show us Americans that riding a bike is just an average way of getting around. You do not really need a car.
Here in America, there is a recent article called Spokes-Models. This is about NYC ladies also riding around on bikes in style. There is some controversy about this article, as some acknowledge riding the wrong way on roads and in general ignoring traffic laws. What I like about it, however, is that at least bike riding for pleasure and practical transportation is getting notoriety. And, what better way than to profile highly fashionable ladies?
And, for a little more about Copenhagen, here is a video showcasing a typical commute there. Can you count the number of cyclists?
