Bicycles and the other Harper's

Alas! I was linking to a website for this post, but the website is acting goofy this weekend, so you will just get a different version of the info.

Checking out Bicycle Benefits to order more stickers for you, noticed that they are looking for pictures of real people in real winter bicycling gear, ran across West Seattle blogger bikejuju who was highlighting photographs from the March 1963 Harper's Bazaar, showing two bicyclists watching a high fashion model prisoned in a floating bubble.

Harper's Bazaar is related to Harper's magazine.  It was started by publishing house Harper & Brothers a few years later in 1867,  a fashion magazine for the ladies.  It has had a long and lively history including the famous pizazz years of Diana Vreeland.   And now has many international sister publications.  We have the UK and the Australian Harper's Bazaar (shown above) as well as the US edition.

While Harper's Bazaar may have used bicyclist to highlight spring couture, Bicycle Times is a young magazine, and rather like Good Old Boat (not about luxury yachts), Bicycle Times is a magazine about city transportation bicycling for the rest of us.  And to circle around, has an article about winter bicycling gear.

So layer on up, and send Bicycle Benefits your Seattle winter bicycling picture.
