dsc02610This fellow, spotted by Charlotte, has an interesting mix of the modern and the classic. The suit says Amsterdam or Copenhagen businessman, while the cap, backpack and hybrid bicycle say American college student. Someone get this man a vintage Raleigh three-speed and some baskets, quick!

This image reminds me a little of the iconic Tiananmen Square image from the protests of 1989. The square stance, the comprehensive safety gear, and the almost-defiant “I will take the lane in front of this Toyota” attitude represents everything the Cycling Gentleman should be. Good work, Anonymous Sir!

Thanks Charlotte.
