Bikes. They've never really been my thing since a childhood accident scarred me both emotionally and actually (confession - I haven't been on one since out of sheer terror) but something is happening in the world of bikes. Cycling's gone from lycra to lovely, and suddenly EVERYONE is doing it. So what's caused this trend? My sources tell me it may be down to Great Britain doing so well in competetive cycling and the likes of Victoria Pendelton gracing the pages of the glossy fashion mags. Or maybe it's those bikes introduced by our lovingly fumbling mayor. Either way, I'm ready to investigate. Now, does Boris do stabilisers do you think?
Bicycle Chic
The Fantasy Bikes
Yep, I'd definitly go for gold. This is the Bond Girl of bikes.
Or avec basket, laden with flowers.
The Reality Bikes
I've found the perfect get the look. Evans Cycles is the place to go for all cycling
needs whether you're a beginner or an accomplished bike geek.
Everything from all the kit to the bikes themselves. These two from Pinnacle
are exclusive to Evans Cycles, and in my mind are the perfect 'pretty bikes'.
Almost retro looking, without all the gharish colours and branding, and most importantly with a basket for your handbag, fresh flowers, the latest copy of Vogue...

It's gotta be a breton for Parisian bike glamour

Topshop
Opt for the prettiest of pants....just in case.
French Sole
Finally, finish with a French ballet pump.
I'm sorry I simply can't advocate trainers on this blog.
