Ginger Rodgers --- on her Bicycle

From time to time I post vintage photos of 'Celebrities on Bicycles' from a collection of photos I've been amassing. Here we have the lovely Ginger Rodgers!

Vivienne Westwood .... Pashley Bicycle

(photo via glamourmagazine.co.uk)

I loved coming across this little interview with Vivienne Westwood. It answers a reader's question in a prior post with Vivienne as to what bicycle she rides. It's a Pashley.

"How far do you cycle?

Every day from home to work, which is Clapham to Battersea. But I would cycle anywhere in town.

What bike do you ride?


I ride a Pashley.

Why do you cycle?

Because it’s convenient and the quickest way to get around.

Cycling tip?

I never ride very fast. If necessary, I walk up the hills. Sometimes I carry high-heels in the basket if I’m going somewhere where I’ll be needing them."

***Right now Girls and Bicycles has a nice 'Pashley 101', her personal review of the bicycle.

Bicycle Summer Inspiration

(via sungelly87, thewayittalk,babshouse,cherryblossomgirl)

The artist side of my nature just wants to post pretty and visually inspiring pictures and the like ...Because What I Really Want, is to be off and about enjoying my summer days; blackberry picking, going to the beach, dreaming up bicycle picnic outings complete with the perfect summer dress, scrumptious lunch offerings and the perfect summer book to read under the cool shade of a tree.
Anyway. Here you have it, I give you some of my favorite summer time inspired bicycle photography.

Sigh, it's been a real chore to sit down and write an insightful and thought provoking piece. However I will resume to more deep and PC women/gender/cycling/cycle chic debate and issues type posting eventually. Or not.

(Art Bicycle- on the streets of Santa Cruz via RidingPretty)

Isabeli Fontana, SuperModel!!...What I particularly love in this photo is all the elaborate cut out work of her jacket, then the same intricate cut out detail is replicated in the wrot iron. It also reminds of this amazing bicycle I've seen and photographed here in the streets of Santa Cruz.

Kate Hudson - Looking Adorable on a Vintage Schwinn Bicycle

(photo credit: unknown)

So Simple & Fresh...What more to say? Kate is wearing a look so reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn. Take note of this classic, beautiful Vintage Schwinn bicycle she is riding. She looks so casual yet playfully elegant

Vivienne Westwood Bikes the 'Green Carpet' - It's a Solar Powered Movie Premier --- "The Age of Stupid"

(photo via AP Photo)

Fashion Designer Vivienne Westwood arrives via bicycle and rolls down the 'green carpet' for the world premiere of "The Age of Stupid"...

This was the world's first entirely eco-friendly and first solar-powered movie premiere. "The Age of Stupid" -- this is a film about a future world devastated by climate change.

I know I will be going to see this film.

p.s. I think Vivienne looks WONDERFUL!

Before I forget....Check out the Otesha Project's Bike Tours:

"Otesha's 2009 cycling and performing tours are ready to roll! Teams of 12 to 18 motivated and energetic young people, aged 18 to 30, will set off on tours beginning this spring, summer and autumn. They will travel by bicycle throughout parts of Canada performing a play and offering workshops on sustainability and social justice issues to schools and community groups."

Inspiration - Twin Girls on Mustang Bicyles

(Photographer: Dana Claxton - Mustang Suite)

Twin girls in matching red dresses on Mustang bicycles....this is one of my all time top, and very favorite photographs, and it's by Dana Claxton. It's from her Mustang Series.

Equestrian Saddle Bags...


These were on Ebay a while back. I think they would make excellent panniers on bicycles.

Gem of A Photo

(photocredit: Michelle Nolan)

Discovered this photographer's work a while back and wanted to share. It's by Michelle Nolan. She does a luscious 'posed' photo like the one shown above and pairs it with a photo of the same girl and her bike in gritty real life light. Makes for an interesting look at contrasts, same girl and bike, two ways to 'see' her.

Zooey Deschanel with Her Bicycle

"But I'm stuck here
getting misty over you
I'm alone
on a bicycle for two."


from “Black Hole” - She & Him Volume One

Zooey Deschanel looking adorable with her bicycle. Sweet little ditty too that she wrote for "She & Him".

Happy Valentines Day!

Miley on her Bicycle... in Teen Vogue

photocredit/source: magazine issue of Teen Vogue

Miley's bicycle riding and shopping trips are now making the pages of Teen Vogue. I so hope Miley continues to be an inspiration and rides, rides her bicycle everywhere. At least in her neighborhood at any rate! Just imagine if everyone did their local shopping, and cafe/restaurant outings in their own neighborhoods... and all via bicycle.

For more inspiration: intense, neon colors, super cute and styled out with eye-candy, hyper attention getting fixie /track bike ...then this photo layout one and photo layout two is for you. Of course it would also just happen to be in Teen Vogue as well.



Teen Vogue likes bikes. We ♥ Teen Vogue.

This in from Melissa @ www.BikeArlington.com who spotted this over at ecorazzi.

‘I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, and when I saw Pink featured on
ecorazzi with her white cruiser, I knew you ought to know about it (if you didn’t already).

Thanks for giving inspiration to those of us who bike in everyday clothes!’

Thanks Melissa!
