Kitsch Me Quick

If I lived in Berlin (or somewhere else that’s flat) instead of hilly Bristol, and they weren’t so darned expensive, I would really like to have a Pashley bicycle to replace my old orange mountainbike. They’re so oldy-worldy looking, which apparently has become a taste of mine which is not going away.

With just 3 gears, if you’re lucky, comapred to my current 21, this is not a practical bike for me, but thankfully, bike manufacturers understand the modern cycling lady’s need to get up hills whilst pretending she lives in the old days and wear skirts which don’t get caught in the spokes and land her face in the tarmac. Thus, they have created a hybrid bike, like this one, which I might get and add a basket to. The step-through style will also preserve my dignity, instead of trying to get over a cross bar whilst wearing leggings and a mini skirt.
