Jenny Hanley with a Raleigh RSW MkII

My mother had a MkII which she used as a shopping bike in her village for many years. Even after all these years I still firmly believe that it was the worst bike ever manufactured.

I'm pretty sure I learned to ride on one of those. It had the same mudflaps and front light, but was dark green Raleigh with the same small frame and had a white saddle IIRC. My mum's bike too. Even with the saddle slammed I couldn't sit on the saddle - but I grew into it.

Coincidently, it was also my first off road bike.

She does rightly have the look of "WTF am I wearing this for?"

A hundred and thirty years ago, the bicycle was a tool for the liberation of females.
"Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel — the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood"
Susan B Anthony

More Japanese lovelies. Featured is a Stradali. A brand that markets itself almost exclusively with scantily clad women.

They are Italian, of course.
