I was noticing over the last few months that this must be a community whose members are mostly in the northern hemisphere, since everyone got quiet when the northern hemisphere moved into winter. :-)

It's mid-Spring where I live, and I've been biking to and from work for the last few weeks. Until today I've been riding my hybrid (full shocks), but today I got out my road bike (no shocks) for the first time this year--and rediscovered how much bumpier* the roads are without suspension! *Now* I remember why I mostly just ride the road bike on paved trails, not actual roads...

Are you riding much so far, this year? What's it like where you are?

* Around here, winter causes potholes. It may be different where you live. This winter it got bad enough that I overheard someone make a tongue-in-cheek reference to the unusual level of asteroid activity we've been having lately. *grin*

I don't think anyone would find cut-tagged bike photos objectionable! And since I'm not sure what you mean by "cycle chic," I'd be curious to see that kind of post too. :-)

In a nutshell, really more about the clothes one wears to ride a bike in, than about the ride or the bike.

Part of the biking-as-a-normal-everyday-activity trend.

Oh! I can't speak for sara who started the comm and maintains it, but as far as I'm concerned that would be really cool, actually. I'm all about biking as a normal everyday activity.
