A piece on Downtown From Behind, a photography blog by Bridget Fleming consisting of photographs of strangers on bicycles taken from behind in various American cities. The publication framed it against the fashion weeks that had just finished, as an alternative way of photographing what people wear.

The framing has not aged well and the page's own title is part of that. What the piece was actually about, cycling as ordinary daily clothing rather than as sportswear, is a reasonable subject that the presentation obscures.

Elite Daily links to a photograph on this page rather than to the page itself. Images from the original site are not reproduced here, so that address redirects to this record.
