Being a sweaty, active, bicyclist is exactly what hooked me up with Mr. Right.
And cycling has often been found to be the FASTER way to get to work (in many urban areas), so yeah....it's very insulting. Perhaps the Marie Claire readers (writers?) are afraid of breaking a nail or something.
Is there an article/paragraph associated with that picture? Can you scan and post it for us (I admit...shocking as it may seem...I am NOT a Marie Clair reader!)?

I'd love to see that, too, or a link to their online version if they have one.
And if there is an email addy we can send our opinions to, I'm sure we could make at least a "small" impression....

As a counter to this sad example of ridicule, I saw an ad in the Boston Globe today encouraging people to bicycle or walk to preserve the environment. It was an ad for Macy's department store and it showed a handsome man dressed in a suit on a bicycle! We're making some progress!

Who really cares what is in Marie Claire?
I saw that picture of Jennifer Anniston's "Chanel" bicycle. Too bad Courtney (I spelled that wrong on purpose! haha) didn't use the money to buy her a custom IF, Seven, or [insert your dream bike].
