"Cycle Manchester" - by Elizabeth Gill

We are delighted to share a selection of Elizabeth Gill's work: "Cycle Manchester: Portraits of Cyclists in their chosen location and their experiences" published in a book on ISSUU. 

In her introduction, Elizabeth writes: 

These portraits show cyclists of Manchester in this era, their positive relationship as a cyclist to the city of Manchester and their frustrations with cycling in this city 

Thanks Liz for sharing your work with us!

Blurry summer, you have given us a wonderful gift this year of light, sunshine and warmth. Thank you!

And thanks to Broxrider as always to help capture Manchester cyclists.

We are looking for more contributors to this blog as well as our Flickr group. If interested, please contact LC at ciaolc82 (@) yahoo.co.uk

A sunny aspect

"A sunny aspect" by ©Broxrider on Flickr

We are longing for more sunshine. The mustard coat certainly helps! Plus I find mixte frames to cheer me up no end... is it just me?

As a fellow female cyclist, I would like to point out the excellent example of riding in a skirt with dark tights, probably the most comfortable set up + safety in knowing your modesty will not be compromised!

Elegant Tricycle Lady

By Velocipedinerian

Well, this picture speaks for itself!

"She wasn't doing a Tweed ride, she wasn't on a vintage event. She was just popping into town on her tricycle, dressed as she pleases. How cool?"

Indeed, Velocipedinerian... how cool!

Cycle Chic? Bien Sûr!

No lycra here, nope, definitely not!

What a fantastic "1951 Raleigh Super Sport Tourist". Thanks Velocipedinerian!
