Top Models Still Ride Bicycles -- NYC - Hana on a Vintage Bike


(photo via bloglovin via citzencouture)

This is Hana, a Top fashion Model on her vintage bicycle in NYC. This is a candid shot and not something posed for a fashion shoot. Actual life. Real, everyday clothes the model wears in her normal everyday life.

One of my earliest blog postings and one that continues to be one of my most googled postings was called Super Models Ride Junkers and Clunkers. It featured Agyness Deyn and in a large part it was she who made that posting so vastly popular. When I spotted the original photo via a LondonCycleChic, I picked up on the fact she was riding what looked to be a vintage bicycle and/or dutch style bicycle (or 'lovingly' called by some a 'clunker' when compared to sleek fixie bikes).
Another very early post I did was called Super Models on Bicycles OR ‘Don’t Hate Me ‘Cause I’m Beautiful’. It carried on along in a similiar (but funnier) vein.

I love this photo of Hana and I'm so happy to report the streets of NYC still has Models aplenty on "clunkers".

Miley on her Bicycle... in 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!

Miley Cyrus Rides a Cruiser

Why care? The way I see it, when pop culture icons ride bicycles they are helping the planet, proving there is some thing you can do (besides saving money on gas) and Yes, looking oh so pretty riding on a bicycle… The influence can be so positive on kids who will be asking their parents if they can get a cruiser like Miley has.

Super Models Ride Clunkers & Junkers

Agyness Fashion Model with Bicycle shared by RidingPretty

Agyness Deyn is English and a super model. I discovered this photo over at London Cycle Chic.


Iekeliene Fashion Model with Bicycle shared by RidingPretty

I know I’ve just recently posted Iekelienes 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.

Look who loves to bicycle…

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.”


celebs

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.

Super Models on Bicycles OR ‘Don’t Hate Me ‘Cause I’m Beautiful’ (as she rides on the wrong side of the street)!

You’ve got to read the whole article in The New York Observer.

‘Meet the beautiful bicycle girls of New York, a breed that bears little resemblance to the hard-charging, Spandex-short-wearing species of 20 years ago. Those women were athletes, pumping the pedals, fighting to win. Getting somewhere. Today’s girls—and one always thinks of them as girls, even if they’re well into their 40’s—are more meandering, their long legs flashing along the pot-holed alleys of SoHo and the boutique-lined bike lanes of the West Village. Eco-conscious and ethereal, they wear flowing frocks and gigantic sunglasses but never helmets. Their hair flutters in the breeze as they leave a trail of swooning male pedestrians in their perfumed wake. They’ve been known to weave up the Brooklyn Bridge, holding up traffic as they absent-mindedly chomp on almonds, steering through a stop sign while texting on their BlackBerries.’

After which, especially read the response banter that this article generated... outstanding and from all points of view.
