How to look stylish on a bicycle?

[dauphine]

Chakirichi.tumblr is a constant source of inspiration for me, this sweet/cute Colnago makes me want another fixed gear:

Thank you!!

I love ridingpretty.blogspot.com that has great shots of outfits. She collects pretty much everything related to bicycles /outfits

I like the simple classic outfits she wears

and celebrity posts Jessica Alba

Karl Lagerfeld

and the tweed run

and some vintage shots

Grace

Rita

not exactly something you wear everyday but fun to look at old pics of classic movie stars.

Don't forget your credits, McClaire..

They're all from riding pretty blogspot. I put the credit is up top, does it have to be on the bottom?

 

[MulletProof]

^ no, it's fine either way. Some of them are definitely not pictures from that girl but that's alright.. most credits get lost on blogs anyway. Thank you.

^Apologies, I can't edit my pics. I should have been better about it.

Riding Pretty is so good. I'm now following it Google Reader. Today I have to ride my bike to a job interview, but it's pretty cool out, so I hope I don't get too sweaty.

I wore a knitted cape over a leather jacket yesterday, it was SO comfy.

I think capes are perfect for bike riding!

Here is my bicycle..gonna trick it out with a bag on the back like Catherine Baba as I feel the basket is not really my style.

Panniers are better, they lower your centre of gravity. Your bike is cute! Fenders!

 

[educo]

So that's what they're called! I had a feeling it would help me gravity wise, but I seriously couldn't imagine myself with a basket at the front.

Bike is good, found it off of craigslist! Dude collects bikes, fixes them up and sells them! No brainer.

Those guys are generally good, but there are some real scammers on there, trying to sell a cottered crank single speed old fuji for $400. Hipsters will buy it.

Duluth packs makes some great handlebar bags. I can't decide between a handlebar bag or a hip bag, for when I don't need my messenger backpack.

With your style of bike, this might be actually good, depending on home much you carry throughout the day. I was looking at those, but I need more room for when I run for groceries and whatnot..so the pannier will be the way for me.

I wasn't scammed for the bike, this guy was really cool, laid back, paid $170 for mine. I'm not Lance Armstrong, I just need a decent bike to get me places so I thought it was fair...
The hipsters will TOTALLY go for your fuji, no doubt about that!

Are you familiar with Adeline in Tribeca? Cute store for bikes and accessories.

I am extremely familiar with Adeline, they have the cutest stuff. I am trying to decide if I want a bigger bike bag, or if I should get a basket. The grocery stores in my neighborhood are a joke. My boyfriend wants us to start riding down to Fairway for groceries now that it's nice out.

$170 is a pretty good deal I think, if you're happy with your bike.

After seeing old posts from this thread I feel like I need a bike, it's been years since I had one but maybe I'll need some health insurance with it, since this bloody city is all hills.

^Please do! I nearly killed myself yesterday going down a really steep hill.

It's gonna rain today, what to wear...
