As I was posting, a lovely young MontrÃ©alaise rode by the window of my home office, in a black dress and smart denim jacket, hair in the wind, sort of an AmÃ©lie bob. But we come in all ages and styles.

Well, there are many, many non-lycra clad or helmeted cyclists here in MontrÃ©al, some very chic indeed! We have made progress with bicycle lanes and workaday cycling, but much remains to be done!

Le Fille Canadienne Cette Tre Chic et Le Velo C’est Fatastique. A very Beautiful Girl. That Spandex and Lycra and Helmets is OK for High Speed Cycling but not for ordinary People who just enjoy Cycling for Pleasure and transportation.

I’d never pooh pooh any Canadian

Sarah is definitely Cycle Chic, which is not even about dressing purposely well and looking good…it’s about wearing what you’d usually wear through the day, be it classy, casual (like Sarah) or anything else. Combined with ‘normal’ bicycles and anything but spandex, you got an instant hit. The visual result is a non-issue over here (Europe), but the more telling for people abroad. I’m just glad Mikael coined it that way. Good fun.
