From our submitter, tomorrow-today-yesterday,

Victoria Pendleton’s range of women’s town bikes for Halfords, including an extremely weird photoshoot of Victoria made to look like Kate Middleton. Very strange.

From the website: 

The new and exclusive Pendleton bikes collection, featuring three unique designs from Britain’s first lady of cycling, Victoria Pendleton. Pendleton is the first all-female bikes range created purely for women, offering a stylish yet practical way to get into cycling, whether it’s for fitness or fun. Each Pendleton bike has been designed by Victoria to offer maximum comfort for the modern female cyclist, combining feminine touches with her sense of timeless style.

Personally, I (co-mod Sarah) think these are kind of pretty, but I definitely can see how these bikes won’t appeal to all female cyclists. If any of you have recommendations for bikes that are good for women (designed for women or not), please leave them in the comments of this post.

Thanks for the submission, tomorrow-today-yesterday.
