The bicycle revolution in Paris is a key turning point in cycle chic - by which I don't mean anything snobbish but simply people looking urbane as they cycle for urban, utilitarian purposes. <br /><br />vive la vélorution!lagatta à montréalhttp://www.lemab.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924920310995639849.post-79001401743194738762009-08-14T16:49:59.582-04:002009-08-14T16:49:59.582-04:00Love that rear basket on the individual bike shot!...Love that rear basket on the individual bike shot!<br /><br />Welcome back from la France, and good luck with your fender painting project- nice match on the colors!<br /><br />I'm combining comments on multiple posts, but also congrats on the lovely picture of the Parisienne window-shopping. Lovely lighting and very classic- something very retro about her whole silhouette.Caricenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924920310995639849.post-79552324162502515702009-08-14T10:30:38.896-04:002009-08-14T10:30:38.896-04:00nice pics!

But, I also noticed way more cars. So, I doubt that the per capita is that much different.spiderleggreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306905473637646256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924920310995639849.post-4016071396802521302009-08-14T07:42:55.412-04:002009-08-14T07:42:55.412-04:00What a nice photo of all those bicycles lined up a...What a nice photo of all those bicycles lined up along the fence! I have never seen that in Boston or Vienna.<br /><br />We live on the Cambridge/Somerville line, and often the bike racks outside grocery stores, the post-office, and our usual cafe will be full with nowhere to park. But that's only because they have such small bike racks!Velouriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359329171411037482noreply@blogger.com
