Giving thanks for somehow holding a bottle of wine and pulling my camera out of my bag and snapping these within 10 seconds of sensing these fine folks' presence.
Ryan, your impression of a Vancouver cyclist is pretty accurate. I've taken it upon myself to spotlight the rare few chic (ie. normal) ones. This fall has been increasingly difficult now that the summer-only-cyclists are on the busses and trains.
yes, your blog help. You do a good work at promoting "utility cycling",
notice I was at the "Cities, Bicycles" event tonight, and David Byrne did a good job at promoting "utility cycling", but given the reaction of the audience at a question on the helmet law, there is lot of work to do in Vancouver: Here people believe overwhelmingly that biking= Helmet,Spandex and Hi Vis jacket...and is dangerous otherwise.
Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for Vancouver CycleChic, my impression of a Vancouver cyclist was always as follows:
-Helmet
-High vis vest/jacket
-Spandex
Seems like the cyclists you show are the exact opposite some in Vancouver want shown.

ReplyDeleteI hope my blog can put the pressure on!
Also, LOVE The City Cyclist.
