In response to comment, here’s a lycra-free Bike Week picture.
Sorry but I may be old and cranky but that photo is abysmal for promoting State Bike Week, there’s far too much lycra and dropped handle bar bikes. Those I believe reinforce the sporty nature of and specialist clothing required to simply ride a bike. How about some city bikes with baskets and ordinary clothes.
I’m a bloke, and I don’t like Lycra either.
