bikes + babes

bikes

i mentioned one of my side-projects the other day and realized that it had been quite a long while since i’ve done a bikes + babes post. so i flipped through the archives of my new(ish) blog, bikes + babes to pull out some of my favorite photos of– wait for it– bikes and babes. but honestly, i’ve been posting so many photos up there that i feel like you’ll need to head over to get the full scope. so consider this your teaser and then head on over to bikes + babes!

from the top left: tara lynn of good night, day, zoe of lion heart vintage, street style by the locals, marie photographed by stockholmstreetstyle, cindy photographed by bike fancy, and harriet henderson photographed by anne bernecker.

      hehe, i think you should dress however you feel most comfortable, but it’s always nice to find pictures of ladies riding in style, if only for a bit of inspiration! yay for cycling!

    This post inspires me to get on my bike this weekend, but I’m still trying to find a helmet that is cute (they are the law in Australia!). Hopefully, that will be soon. …

      you and me both! i wear a helmet because it’s a little dangerous to go without one in my city, but it is not the most attractive piece of gear… i like nutcase brand, but they are a bit cumbersome!

    Ohh gosh, these photographs make me want a bike so so so badly! I am hopefully going to London next year (!!) and I truly am ALL kinds of excited about the bicycle renting program thing they have there! Eek!

    love these pics Erin I only wish there was somewhere for me to ride where I live in Australia. I would love to get myself a vintage style bike but I would never get to use it :(
    we have hardly any bike designated paths in Brisbane and many cyclists are forced to go on the road which is dangerous or the footpath which annoys pedestrians!

    Hy dear,this is my phirst time on your blog, and i like it so much.
    We have the same passion for vintage stuff… I’m a student of fashion design in Naples and I research accessorize and dress in the markets of used stuff, and I discover always interesting, beautifulst things and to low cost! A style a lot personalized, does not appeal to me to dress as all can make! Please when you have a time, it passes to take a look to my page, would make indeed appeals to me to have a opinion from a competent person like you!

    :( None of them have a helmet

      yeah, i know. it’s a double edged sword because i want to advocate cycling, but it’s not exactly easy to find photos of girls wearing helmets while posing with their bikes. and i don’t want to refrain from sharing photos of girls riding bikes for that reason because i still think it’s important to get more people on bikes! for the record, i almost always wear a helmet when riding on the street and agree that it’s important to put safety first!

    These pictures make we want to take out my bike right now. I have had it forever but it has been serving as a dust collector in my apartment instead. All of these ladies looks fantastic. Great idea for a blog.
