Photo in Bicycling Magazine - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

I finally checked out that photo that Claire Petersky mentioned. It was just
as outrageous as Claire's description.

However, it seemed to me that it was obviously a total joke. Of course it
looked ridiculous in that magazine- it's obviously supposed to. I doubt they
expect any woman cyclist to dress like that. It was a jab at the whole idea
of "Style". The word itself automatically conjurs up images of fashion
magazines, bored-looking anorexic models wearing just that type of idiotic
getup, and ads for Dolce and Gabanna or whatever.

That being said, I think the fact that they did fall back on that kind of
dumb image is in itself sort of pathetic, like they couldn't think of a
better joke? Very infantile, really. It's like "The Man Show." Does any man
really think that's funny?
