Girls on Bikes

Cycling just needs better advertising. I came across an old image that seemed to imply that "back then" people got it. They knew that what sold bicycling to the masses was not lycra clad men, but scantily clad women. I mean, when you see these guys, you just don't really get a good feeling:

I imagine in its day that many bikes were sold because of this image. Thankfully, there are some folks out there who get it. Now, I like to ride fast, but I would gladly slow down my speed to whatever it takes to follow this paceline:

Sorry roadies, but my neck won't be as sore as yours when in the tow because of my relaxed recumbent position. Riding behind a group like this will sell you on a recumbent and make you a convert, LOL!
