If full body Spandex isn’t your speed, check out Cycle Chic, a London-based blog that offers tips on how to look devastatingly hot (wear designer pants from Stella McCartney, or your boyfriend’s t-shirt), stay sweat-free (don’t go too fast and sport a light, summery dress), and “cycle yourself slim,” all while biking to your intended destination.
Okay, so maybe my tone is a tad flip, but Cycle Chic, apart from its flirtatious, airhead fluffiness, really does offer some solid, practical suggestions for casual women cyclists. The site features posts on cycle safety, buying a bike, and, well, tapered trousers. (I’ll admit that the lacy Swedish baskets they recommend are positively adorable; I want one. Just don’t expect me don a Jackie O. helmet cover any time soon.)
