Church of the Granny Bike

20 February 2008

a special category of bicycles.

"But there is a special category of bicycles that appeal far more to white women, the European city bike. White women have a lot of fantasies about idealized lives, and one of them is living in Europe and riding around an old city on one of these bikes. They dream about waking up and riding to a little cafe, then visiting bakeries and cheese shops and finally riding home to prepare a fancy meal for their friends who will all eat under a canopy with white Christmas lights."

-Stuff White People Like blog, "Bicycles"

It made be a little embarrassed that they are on to me. But then, I suppose you have to be pretty cool to be satirized. ;)

Hat tip to Will for the link.
