XC in 1936

"How come you're not into fixies or single speeds?" we have been asked. Well, that's just the thing. We certainly don't hate fixed-gear or single-speed bikes, we love (almost) all kinds of bikes. We're just not into them, pretty much like some people are not into chocolate or liquorice. We will give you a more thorough reply as soon as we can, but right now... we can't, because we don't really have the time. In the meantime we would like to share this cool little film

from 1936 with you. How can you not like it? Cool girls in stylish clothes (in 1936 as well as in 2014), riding Classic bikes (we're pretty sure they're fixies). "Bicycle belles"? Yeah, we're totally into this.
