Fashion Is Fun

Downtown Pedaling

PinkBike.jpgWhile the London Topshop is in a tizzy over swine flu, the New York Topshop is giving out gifts!

Well…not exactly, but the store will be loaning out bikes from June 20th to the 27th and as far as we’ve heard, they’re free.

Topshop is showing some love for the city by helping to encourage city slickers to stay fit and have fun. While there probably won’t be a lot of actual commuters standing around at Topshop waiting for a bike to head to work, we’re hoping the New York biking trend will keep on growing to keep our city cleaner (fuel emission wise) and less congested.

We’ve been skeptically and cautiously wondering how easy biking in heels and a dress is for some time now, thanks to Scott, so maybe it’s time to give it a try? But we will definitely be sporting a helmet, and thankfully Topshop will provide you one along with the bike.

In case you needed an excuse to whip out a new (or old) pair of bike shorts

Count me in. Biking around town is my cup of tea.

How about a long biking short under a cute little summer dress? That's if summer ever arrives in NYC.

What about a spin in those high heeled sneakers featured some time ago? Couldn't figure when the occasion for such a look would occur, but this might be it.

Keep us posted.

Cycling in heels & a frock is simple. Flips flops, conversely, are much trickier. I wrote this a year ago,

But I do think that things have changed since: I see more people biking & the 9th Ave bike lane has opened up, along with better road marking for cyclists. The thing that hasn't changed? Bikes getting stolen. LLGxx
