National bike week 14-22 June
This weekend is the start of national bike week. I can’t ride a bike but I always love seeing a bike in a shoot…

I have ridden a bike since I had children. These photo’s have really made me want to get back on and pedal. Brilliant

It’s always nice to see you can be stylish and a cyclist although I’m always very wary of the idea of cycling in a skirt – I fall off every now and then so like to be wearing something that comes between me and the concrete!
I see some very stylish cyclists in Angel these days, I feel I need to try harder tbh – we need some fashionista cycle accessories I think; ‘pimp my cycle clips’ anyone?

Riding a bike in London is so bloody dangerous … They seem to be used to cyclists in big towns in France or Holland, Belgium etc but here … Mmmmm … No.

I JUST learned to ride a bike this year and I’m nearly 19! I’m so obsessed with it now and I’m always trying to figure out which skirts I can wear while riding.

Hurrah for bikes! We had Bike Walk to Work week here in May, and I’ve been biking to work as often as I can since it got warm(ish). Even got my first flat tire riding home on Monday. I feel like a REAL bike commuter now …

Oh! I love this! If I get into Epsom, I really want to cycle to uni, that’s my plan! I love these pics! Did you see that picture on my blog of the lady riding her bike so stylishly in Paris? High heels, pink tights, the lot!

is that Twiggy in the bottom pic? Ugh, I need to get in shape. I guess biking everywhere would do it.

Delightful cycling photos. It’s not easy to “pose” on a bike–people’s personalities shine through!

I want nothing more than an old bike, with a pretty basket on the front! Although knowing me, I’d probably fall off of it trying to (unsuccessfully)look like im in a fashion shoot riding around London :)

I cycle every day more or less, less in winter but I wear heels, skirts whatever. I’ve got an old fashioned style bike (a pashley) complete with basket on front. I leave it at train station as London is a bit of a scare to cycle in!

You know, I’m actually afraid to get back on a bike after all these years. They always say ‘oh, it’s just like riding a bike’ but no one considered that THAT might not be so easy! :D Anyway, I think I will be linking to this post in the next few weeks when I talk about some short shorts. Bikes are a perfect excuse to wear them.
Would you like to exchange links for our blogrolls? :) You can find me at thevoguecity (dot com)

Brillo bike photos. They all look so easy and breezy. I always feel like I’m going to fall over on a bike.

why is it that bike photos are so romantic? i always manage to look like a drunk babboon anytime i’m on wheels, but perhaps that’s just me.
