Contrary to what uninformed people mumble in the Emerging Bicycle Cultures as they try to make sense of the unexpected [but inevitable] increase in regular people on bicycles, cycling isn't dirty or messy. Wearing an all-white ensemble proves this fact quite splendidly.
I love the white flowers she has placed on her basket.

I never wear white, but I wear khakis a lot, and even a simple ring guard means I never have to worry about a grease tattoo on my pants.
ReplyDeleteOf course around here, as the racers don't use them, most people wont have them on - and then blame bikes for grease marks.
People are funny critters.
A modest suggestion, based on the above comment:
ReplyDeleteChainguards are informal or business attire (or above).
Ring guards are business casual attire.
No guards are street clothes, at best, if not sportswear.
Not only does it work on a practical level in terms of chain-pants interaction, it also screams the type of classy fashion sense that cycle chic is all about.
Everyone bikes in Davis... If only you saw some of the silly sights! Girls in cocktail dresses and stilettos, barefoot hippies, the two+ people bicycles...
