Let us weigh in on The Bachelor debate, bicycle babes.

No one has mentioned the fact that this is one of the few times in human history when we are witness to a man behaving like a damsel in distress and wooing women by fluttering his ‘multi-colour’ eyes.

Thanks, Lana, for pointing that out, again!

There almost isn’t a single moment in history when men have wanted, never mind volunteered, to be fought over. It is a grown man’s instinct to want to prove his prowess with women, not the other way around.

Bicycling in winter has a bad reputation, but it’s a bicycle myth that needs to be debunked because with the right fashion and accessories cycling right through winter is wonderful!

An amazingly simple winter bicycling fashion solution is wool leggings. There are lots of styles out there, but one of my favorite are by Melbourne designer, Pulka.

The Good:
