Chic Cyclists- I want to take your picture

Hello Fellow Cyclists,

I am working on a small project photographing stylish cyclists, and I want to photograph you with your bike (outside somewhere).  I have a few rules:

1.  No active wear, you should be wearing work clothes or going out clothes.  (unless you can make a case for a particularly nice looking "functional" outfit)

2.  I want all kinds of bikers but prefer women and commuters. 

3.  Look cute and dress up a little!

Send me your email and a photo (if you want) and I will contact you with a time slot.  You can have a hi-res digital copy of the photo. 

~thanks

And I think that tip on braiding my hair so it fits under my helmet is going to be very helpful to me.

HA! Ed, you should rock a wig just so you can braid it! ;-)

Same here. Sometimes I can't stand my flowing mane.

When I moved to Chicago in 2006, I thought I had to wear special clothing. So I spent a lot of money buying it.

Fast forward 2 years and I realize that that's not true. I can ride in anything. But when I shop for new clothes, I think of how they will be affected by riding a bike. For example, skinny jeans will make it hard for me to mount a bike with a high or horizontal top tube (I'm really tall).

Great exposure for the blog and Chicago cycling! Woo-hoo. All this talk about style inspired me to hit the thrift store today.

I started thinking about biking in the late 90's, inspired by the example of the person I was dating at the time. But I actually *started* bike commuting when I met his friend, Gina, who also biked everywhere in any outfit. Once I knew I did not need to ditch my wardrobe to saddle up, I bought a bike and have not looked back.

i'd love to be included! i ride a fire-engine red foldie with gold-glitter vinyl panniers i made myself! AND i have a matte pink bern helmet with a little visor.

honestly, it's the accessories that get me on the bike at all.

(ps: i wear bloomers or ruffle-butt panties to my mass rides, though probably not the dreidel rampage. maybe with tights underneath ... this could work! it amuses me so i don't notice how far i'm riding.)

I forgot how entertaining this thread is and the great conversation that ensued. We included it in this weeks newsletter since marthas blog is this months featured blog, but im happy anyway to give a little polite "bump".
