Vintage Bikes

As Spring is now here (although freezing today), I am looking forward to more weekend bike rides. Here are some vintage bike images that inspire me to do more stylish cycling!






I am totally in love with the outfits in the first picture, love the turbans! And I love the wedges in the last picture, I always cycle wearing completely inappropriate footwear.

I will have to post a picture of me and my bike (a 70s navy dutch bike) at some point.
(Not sure where most of these images came from, so apologies if they're yours.)

  4. Fabulous pictures. I am guessing that the turbans kept their pin curled hair in place-I am not sure I am brave enough to wear one of those whilst cycling to uni!!

  5. Lovely pictures! My hand are now itching for taking the bike out for a ride... =) I'm actually a bicycle-around-the-year gal, as long as it's above -15 celsuis I find my bike to be the best way to get around. Here it's faster than the bus or walking, and better for my economy and for the enviroment than having a car.
    However, I wish I looked as glamorous as these girls while riding my bike! =)
