Chicago Bike Winter Fashion show photos

Last weekend I had a blast working with Holly Rhode of the impeccable vintage clothing site www.lucitebox.com, Hair and Make up artist Christopher Conner, and these fine cycling ladies:  Liz, Dottie, Ash, Lisa, and Kim.  We worked on some photos to publicize the upcoming Bike Winter Fashion Show, and thanks to all of these ladies (and one gentleman),  I think they turned out great!

You might recognize Dottie from her blog Lets Go Ride a Bike, or from one of my photos here.   Both Liz and Kim are involved with West Town Bikes the non-profit community bike shop that focuses on under-served populations and youth programing.  Ash organizes the group rides Chicago Kidical Mass and Critical Lass, and has a blog about family cycling called One Less Mini Van.  Lisa is very involved in the cycling community and I randomly photographed her and family here.    What a great group of ladies to represent the cycling community. 

Thanks to Boulevard Bikes for lending us all of these amazing bicycles for the photo shoot.

P.S. Of course I couldn't leave Holly's without picking on some funky vintage duds.  Check out the amazing graphic print dress I bought. It fits perfectly!  I'll have to post a photo of dress + bike very soon.
