From time to time I do Bicycle Pin-ups for inspiration and sheer fun...
Miley... biking around her neighborhood - January 20, 2009, and yes just after returning from Washington DC. and performing at the “Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future.” Lots more photos of Miley at GossipGirls are here.
Look at the real, actual 'shopping by bicycle' Miley has accomplished. No car needed, she just jumped on her bicycle instead. Go Miley!
"But the cool cats are going vintage, such as Chloe Sevigny, who has colour co-ordinated her Seventies bicycle with the green wallpaper in her hallway."
‘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!’
I know I’ve just recently posted Iekeliene’s photo but here goes again. She’s a super model (Dutch) and some people thought by ‘Dutch’ I meant the bicycle in the photo not Iekeliene herself.
The point is that these models are very in demand ($$$) and could afford any bicycle they wanted. I appreciate their choice to ride used and/or vintage bicycles (though Iekeliene is obliviously trying to sell hers!)
I wish I could ask them why they ride old ‘clunker/ junkers’, but I have a hunch they just liked them. About a month ago I wrote about the plus side of riding a used bike in ‘Tough Times…How to get a Bike for Cheap!’.
Now whenever time I spot some one who is riding a 'vintage' (a nicer term than clunker/junker) bicycle I will ask them what they're riding.

While I’m not a huge celebrity gawker, I love it that celebrities do help to raise awareness, and can possibly inspire us…. get us out of our cars and out bicycling.
Ladies who decide to park the car and bicycle instead.
Gisele Bundchen -“I go every day to work on my bike,” Ms. Bundchen told the Daily News a couple of years ago. “It’s faster than a car, and cheaper.”
Jerry Hall- “I ride a... bicycle or take taxis. My bicycle has an old-fashioned leather seat and basket; there are fantastic circuits in Richmond Park, which I use.”
See if you can pick out Chloe, Kate (H), Elle, Angelina, Giselle, Jennifer (G), Madonna (2 pics). And then there is Daryl Hannah, who is really working it strongly for Bicycle Advocacy.
