There is a blog that I love and visit religiously every day which concentrates on cyclists. Because I like to bicycle, I am attracted to it for several reasons. The riders dress VERY differently than American cyclists: no fancy-pancy riding clothes, no helmets, but lots and lots of class and chic! It has inspired me to try to photograph American cyclists, which is tough since they whiz by so fast. I bet you'd like to see the blog! Copenhagen Cycle Chic.
