I like Dandyhorse.
Stu, you're not subtly stumping for a ball gown ride now, are you?

and she can sing, too
Saw this in a Canadian cycling magazine which started following me on Twitter, an interview with an opera singer, Wallis Giunta, who bikes to her performances in a long gown and heels. And a helmet.
Informative and inspiring.

Well, I am, but that wasn't why I posted this. To me, she looks like a good role model for women who are trying to make cycling a central part of their lives. A 12-month rider in a snowy climate (Toronto). Primarily car-free. Bikes to work...in heels and a ball gown. Comments on detachable racks, riding in the cold, bike lanes, riding in foreign countries, and the independence one gets from being on two wheels.
Just awesome IMHO.

I think people with either version of the 23rd chromosome will find her a role model. In some cases, what to emulate, in other cases, what to lust and chase after.
Nice find Stu. I will have to check out dandyhorse more often.

Just going through some old threads and found that the above link is broken. Try this one instead:

Heels on Wheels is a regular feature.

somehow I missed this first time around, that lady is all-around awesome. I think I even have a crush on her.
