Thank you, RAPHA

Usually, when flipping through a cycling catalog that features women-- the women are, 9 times out of 10, not actually ON their bike, but instead are wearing pastels, sporting lipstick and their hair is down. The bike just looks like a prop.

But I didn't really realize HOW conditioned I was to seeing women represented this way, until I saw RAPHA'S photoshoot. 

I can't tell you how stunned with joy it makes me--

that these women can RIDE their bikes.
