騎游者的逍遙生活

????《自行車風(fēng)尚》（Cycle Chic）一書收錄了368張騎游者與其愛車的合照。我在紐約植物園里偶然看到了這本書,，一打開就看到一張騎車妹的靚照,。妹子長(zhǎng)發(fā)長(zhǎng)腿、身著短裙,，或許這本書這么受歡迎,，跟這些靚照也有關(guān)系吧。不過好戲還在后頭,。

????除了年輕姑娘的靚照,，很多照片——確切地說是快照——拍的都是小伙子和大男孩、小屁孩和淘氣鬼,、帶寶寶的媽媽,、騎雙座自行車的夫婦、把狗放在車籃子里的車手,，如此等等,，不一而足。大多數(shù)照片的拍攝者是米卡埃爾·科爾維爾-安德森,，他是時(shí)尚博客“哥本哈根自行車風(fēng)尚”（Copenhagen Cycle Chic）的博主,，所以他拍攝的大多是穿著入時(shí)的自行車車手。由于照片取景于世界各地,，這本書還可以作為一本不錯(cuò)的旅游指南,。不過我最終把它買下來(lái)是因?yàn)樯厦娴恼掌际前凑罩黝}分組的,，從照片上看，不管車手們身居何地,，車行何處,，他們的風(fēng)貌和舉止大體是相似的。

Biking Bliss

????Cycle Chic?contains 368 photographs of people and their bicycles. I ran across it in the bookstore at the New York Botanical Garden, and the fact that it opens with a photo of a lovely young cyclist with long hair, long legs, and a short skirt probably had something to do with its attraction, but that was just for starters.

????In addition to young ladies, a large number of the photos -- they're actually snapshots -- are of men and boys, kids and toddlers, mothers with babies, couples on two-seater bikes, bikers with dogs in their baskets, and loads of other variations. Most of the photos were taken by Mikael Colville-Andersen, founder of a fashion blog called Copenhagen Cycle Chic, so the bikers tend to be well dressed. Because the pictures come from all parts of the world, the book doubles as a nice travelogue. But the fact that the photos are grouped by theme provides the real take-away: Regardless of where they live and bike, people tend to look and act pretty much alike.
