While I'm certainly no leader in the fashion stakes, but the next time someone tries to suggest "cycling is not glamorous" should take a look at these images of stylish and energetic ladies from the golden days of cycling. These alone should put paid to such silly notions.

Cycling is unglamorous? Pah! More like exhilarating, intoxicating, fun and just so chic.
