It is well known that etiquette for the front button of a suit's jacket is for the top button (assuming a two buttons jacket) to be fastened while standing, and having the buttons unfastened while sitting, to avoid an ugly drape. But what about while cycling?<br /><br />I have the added difficulty that my bike is not strictly a proper sit-up bike, and still has me leaning ever so slightly...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021891826074851837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210935752673952814.post-2965927775434748082010-03-08T12:07:12.809+01:002010-03-08T12:07:12.809+01:00mmmh... ranking stuff... doesn't quite help on...mmmh... ranking stuff... doesn't quite help on promoting ubiquitously bicycle culture.<br />Compliments for the rest on the blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210935752673952814.post-52151706741229994632010-03-02T21:22:36.990+01:002010-03-02T21:22:36.990+01:00What about Cambridge?

They have come a looong way in the last few years and reduced carbon emissions by 20% compared to a few years ago. Not many cities if any over here can say that.

While I have lived the cycle chic lifestyle for over 30 years, and have had the luxury of living in some of the cities you highlight, I now live in a area barren of "cycle chic" cyclists. Having your site to refer people to, helps tremendously when I offer the argument that cycling should be and is both beautiful and easy.<br /><br />Thank you!<br />Cycle Chic Foxboro, MA.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06640499050256150545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210935752673952814.post-91076099488251799192010-02-25T23:58:34.413+01:002010-02-25T23:58:34.413+01:00Love the blog--I agree with Copenhagen as your num...Love the blog--I agree with Copenhagen as your number one!

Last time I returned home from Copenhagen to Melbourne, I was a bit overwhelmed by the lycra effect. But this year when I returned I was pleasantly surprised by the increased number of Cycle Chic style bikes, 'real' bike shops (my style bike shops I should clarify), and the increasing number of people cycling in nice, stylish and non-sporting clothing. They have a way to go still, but Melbourne is definitely the top chance in Australia - especially with the increasing number of bike lanes and paths, and the up and coming free bike scheme.<br /><br />I think it will take a lot to get in front of Copenhagen in this list!<br /><br />By the by - love you guys!
