streetstyle bike culture

This bike site is doing a series of posts on cycling in Paris in general and Vélib' in particular.

To make their point they focus particularly on the huge numbers of women who have adopted cycling as as their normal way of getting about some of Europe's largest cities. Here's a link to today's post: Joie de Vivre Avec Vélo Libre. And here, the logo:
