New Cycling Term Takes Lane on Wikipedia Highway
CYCLE CHIC:
A term that describes the culture of everyday cycling in fashionable clothes. It is generally associated with the utility cycling practised in cities such as Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Berne, Basle, Berlin, among others, where citizens practice a high level of bicycle usage. In many European cities, as well as cities in China and Japan, cycling is an everyday transport choice and many cyclists choose to wear their regular clothes, as opposed to outfits generally associated with cycle sport, such as bicycle shorts, gloves and shoes.
Apparetly this is an up and coming trend in cities that are putting money into bicycle friendly infrastructure and facilities.
Get this!
"Citizens are discovering that it is possible to ride in their normal clothes around town."
WOW! Who'd a Thunk it? ;-D
