N Milwaukee Ave & W Logan Blvd, Chicago, IL

Sometimes biking fancy is riding in heels with a cast. 

Kellie, Lakeview, Chicago, IL

Kelly rides an Origin 8 single speed for her casual rides around the city.

Cycling Tip from Kelly:  Braiding my hair when its fresh from the shower makes it fit nicely under my helmet. As the day passes, my hair dries and I have an awesome wave when i undo the braid. Come time to put the helmet on again, braid it up. It keeps it knot-free and provides body for when off the bike.

Kellie, N Broadway, Uptown, Chicago, IL

Kellie rides a Jamis Coda Sport hybrid road bike, covered in stickers.

Cycling tip from Kellie:  Be in tune with the oncoming season, always keep a plastic bag handy to keep your seat dry in rain or snow.  This has the added benefit of making your bike look junky, hopefully making it less attractive to evil, evil bike thieves!!!
