Charikicki is a photo blog that chronicles beautiful shots of women on bikes. Most of the photos are taken in Japan and give us a greater glimpse into their bike culture.

Here’s to NYC catching up with bike parking and traffic laws. On March 4, 2009, the City Planning Commission approved the Bike Zoning for Bike Parking proposal. Soon we’ll have those indoor parking photos as well!

Thanks to Quinn for pointing me to the photo blog.

Oh, hey! Did you hear? We are biking to Floyd Bennett field this Sat 4/18 @ 11am. Join us!

Klein describes it as “a very nice way to express modernism.” Decide for yourself.
