No.8 is EXACTLY how I picture DDD

6 FGSS bikes
4 women all riding Pashleys.
1 1980s geared bike.

Basically it seems if you have a new bike it must be FGSS or you must be a woman on a Pashley.

Either way, you have to be dressed like an idiot.

#5 is the spitting image of a friend - though not so much that style of clothes.

What do you reckon the GI is on that? Must be huge...

Also, Pashleys, Pashleys everywhere....

I like the way they tuck Paul Smith in the middle. He wins by virtue of not dressing like a twit and by actually riding a bike that looks like it actually gets ridden.

Come on, EKE, don't be bitter just because these cats are rocking some cool scenes.

Indeed; wonder how stiff the soles of his loafers are?
Oh, and clock the pins on Nicola (#9) - should be good for SCR.

Hipster fail.

Is it wrong that Elinor gives me wood?

I completely disagree - they are not, IMHO, London's most stylish cyclists.

mickbrown

No. 11?

Moobs, big baggy T shirt and wild man beard.

If that's stylish, I'll remain resolutely unstylish ta very much.

Indeed, wheres the paunchy fellow astride red carbon rocking a fashionably torn (and alluringly tight) windproof?

If by 'wood', you mean a cricket bat across the back of the head, then probably.

Couldn't agree more. GRRRR. Whilst I have no problem with some women choosing to ride Pashleys, it does not necessarily mean that just because you don't, you can't be stylish. (NB I am not that stylish, but feel sure that other race-bike-riding women are). I personally think the women in the Rapha ads look pretty stylish as well as feminine, whilst still riding proper bikes.

Thats just the media images at the moment, most of those didn't look like they'd manage much more than a very slow pootle though a park, in the same way the clothes for fashion shoots is again trying too hard.

Some cyclists do manage to have a certain style about them, even with lycra though i'm guessing not to Jo/Jane on the street.

Once it gets warmer do get folks in nice clothes In Bushy Park, be that dresses/suits or what not.

At the moment every one is layered under big jackets and such.

Frame shape looks great, but gold plate is just wrong. That could have been a really nice bike.

I beg to differ. As we all saw at the Morpeth, you have the most stylish vajazzle I've ever seen.

SIGH. This slander undoubtedly makes me out to be more interesting than I am, so I should probably go with it, but for the avoidance of doubt tis lies, all lies. :-)
