The Summer of the Bicycle

4 August, 2008

Sorry for the Drought.  It was a crazy weekend for me.  So, here is the beginning and the end of the post that I started the other night and am now just getting a chance to finish.  Thanks for sticking around.

High gas prices and warm weather have brought them out.  In some places it is not all that unusual.  It has been a common event for the past twenty or thirty years or more.  In others, it is new.  It is fresh.  It is even a bit of an oddity.  What is it you ask?  It is the bicycle.  And not just any new bicycle.  It is an old fashioned bicycle such as ridden by the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz, or by your grandmother who may or may not be much like the aforementioned witch.  Anyway, it is the high heel, flowing dress or skirt, hand bag and cell phone in hand, and helmetless head.  (Did I really write that?  Helmetless?  Don’t flame me okay.  It isn’t all that bad.) It is classy, elegant, and perhaps coming to a city much closer to you than you think.  In this case, it is Washington DC, but it was New York not to long ago.  Give them a read.  Then wander over to Copenhagen Cycle Chic and see what it could be come should conditions ripen.  Enjoy!
