Girls on Bikes

While I’m sure we’re not the first to say it, it really isn’t mentioned enough- there’s nothing quite like the sight of a woman on a bicycle. This largely unsung summer treat can often be seen crossing the frame with all the breathtaking spectacle of a shooting star: a blur of blushed cheeks and cotton, leaving you feeling a little bit better about the world we live in.

During the decadent eighties our sexual idolatry was, to some bizarre extent, directed towards images of women in florescent bikinis and matching pumps seductively posing on or around expensive Italian cars, and so it is perhaps appropriate for these leaner economic times that the clever girls can do much more with a summer dress and a charity shop bike. We never really know where these girls are riding to, but we imagine it’s a place as magical as whatever they might have in that basket.

For these reasons, and many more that I would be unable to put into words, we at Electric Adolescence dedicate this installment our monthly mix series to all the pedal pushing women of the world, at the same time boldly declaring that bicycles are officially sexier than lingerie.
