Meanwhile ..maybe dearie and I might go to the Momentum bike fashion show 1 km. away tomorrow.. But it's more of a social event for us if we go to chat up with other folks we know there. I went to their very first one a few years ago, where I met my first TE forumite, Mimi.

If some people choose to dress up in fashionable street clothing while cycling, etc. that's their thing. I wouldn't necessarily judge them less. If they want to ride heavier bikes, that's their thing. But for certain, they shouldn't presume that it's a good thing for newbies to ride a heavy bike. I wouldn't make that type of recommendation at all.

I just wonder how they keep their skirts, tops, etc. from oil stains, etc. and prevent scratches on beautiful leather dress boots or dress shoes. I honestly would need a new wardrobe to dress fashionably and cycle.

But when I was in Copenhagen, it was obvious that to have a truly cycling intensive city, regular cyclists (meaning us) have to embrace, all cyclists who may not wear comfortable cycling clothing, etc. More of my comments here and pics. (In case others didn't see my Copenagen blog post earlier.)

Clearly Copenhagen Chic is an effective marketing spin but in fact, when you are there, lots of people look pretty ordinary.

Lph wonder if you are one of the rarer Europeans who believes in wearing bike helmet. The blogger for Copenhagenize and Copenhagen Chic, practically is foaming at the mouth in anger, whenever he looks to North America's bike helmet laws.
