I’m offended. Who does bike maintenance in white? Skirts… them’s the devil’s work I tell ‘ya.

Pft. Those shoes don’t even have cleats.

There were shoes in that pic?

I was going to complain that this isn’t a bike-related picture. Then I realized it is.

You’re wrong. Those are SPD-FM pumps.

Hello, nurse!

Sure they do but they do seem a bit big. Making up for there only being one per shoe I guess.

I am curious though, seeing the Specialized logo in the corner of the pic, exactly where was this advert or whatever found? I’m as much a fan of cheesecake as the next guy but seems to me that cycle advertising has been trying to avoid this kind of overt ‘cheezeness’ given the demographics of the cycling market.

oh, that was Specialized? had to look again, I see you’re right

Appears to have been an ad in magazines and (maybe) online too for the s-works Demo

Yea, I wouldn’t have caught either if someone hadn’t mentioned shoes. 😮 😎

I’d love to get up some angst to be offended, being a former nurse and all, and trust me my uniforms didn’t look anything like *that* but I just can’t.

I’d be a hypocrite. Honest to goodness I just rolled in from the beach where I spent a week riding a rusting, no brakes, Flintstone bike with a wobbly wheel. Out there it would be odd to wear anything but board shorts and a bathing suit when riding a bike.

All I can say is I’m an old nurse, I can put air in bike tires, but when I do I’m probably sweating and decked out in god awful bike shoes and Lord knows, no makeup. I hope they sell some bikes. Me? I’m waiting for the beach volleyball dude version of that ad.

If we want more women biking, and I think most agree that we do, the least we can do is equal(er) opportunity half-naked people.
