Daytrippers at Colette

one chick, two chick, red chick, blue chick.jpg
There’s something so classically chic about a bicycle.

It evokes images from old movies, where beautiful starlets rode them in full skirts and sun hats (in lieu of helmets).

It also brings to mind Scott Schuman’s obsession with the innately stylish who would rather hit the pavement on wheels than by foot.

And now, this fashionable (and eco-friendly) mode of transport is in the spotlight at Joy Ride - a film festival at Colette dedicated to bicycles.

The festival - founded and directed by Brendt Barbur - explores and celebrates the use of bikes in the urban landscape.

If you happen to find yourself in Paris between now and September 1st, you can check out the show.

If only a bike were all we needed to get to Paris…

Just a thought-- if you're going to wear a dress while riding a bike, maybe a girls' bike would be a better idea. I can see your cooter, sweetie. Not that it's not cute, it's adorable. Also, are you actually dressed or are you wearing one of those towel robe thingies and slippers they hand out at the spa?

I just got back to the Netherlands, where there are more bikes than cars. I rode a bike for the first time seriously since grade school, I thought I was going to die. Give me the subway any day!

yeah did not enjoy the cycling concept either in the netherlands:
wind= bad hair
rain= ruined my outfit
transporting groceries= me falling off the bike
