Her bike has no brakes. Not good.

God I LOVE New York.

your pictures get more and more beautiful and light filled. loved the pomodori pelati too!

it's a back peddle bike, peddle the opposite direction to stope

I didn't know if it was a she or a he..
Nice Tattoo..

The bike is a fixie. That's why no brakes. Also no gears. It is not back peddle brakes though. Fixies were used for training but started gaining popularity because they were inexpensive. Usually they are very uniquely decorated by their riders. The speed is completely controlled by peddling, even slowing down. No costing on this bike.

…. Great pic!

Some will have 1 break on their bike, but most don't. You have to force the bike to stop, its hard to explain. Fixies are cool but they are a trend among the kiddies and young messenger's. Track bikes and the city are about 'WHEN' you'll be hit by a car.

i'm seeing all these fascinating tattoos lately!

Wow! Look at those tattoos!

Hmmmm, not so much here, bike is nice, though.

It's nice to see a little punky spunk on here. I can dig it : )

I love your tatoo <3

What a wonderful picture, with her yellow hat in controlled contrast to the rest of the picture. I really like that bike, but not sure I'd want to ride around on such an old bike in fast-paced NYC!

Urgh…why must you highlight the ladies with the tats?
Not chic.

Love the hat, rolled up tight jeans, and bike.

VERY ROUGH AND TUMBLE FEEL MIXED WITH A SPORTY VIBE. I LIKE IT!!!!

Brilliant bike shot once again. Serious bike rebel with the black shirt, rings, sig and tattoo, yet a big splash of fun with the pink bike, pink bracelet and yellow cap. I would select her on my ciclistas fashionadas team. Andale!

streetsy!

great shot. raw and edgy…!

It's the little extras in this picture– the tattoos, the rings, the necklace around her neck, the pink bike, yellow hat. Otherwise, you're just not into the bike culture.

She appears to have such inner strength; if she were my daughter I'd be incredibly proud.

Its a great look, the cotton cap matching her grips.

I love that she has what looks like flyers in her spokes.

She has real bikers shins!

Not my kind of style but defo unique.

I see her biking around the city.. LOVE her tattoo.

Wow! As I was walking into 135 w 29th street to pick up a package today, a man who looks at your website recognized me from this picture, and told me about it. I absolutely LOVE the way it came out. I don't have any good pictures of me with my bike. If you wouldn't mind,(?) I'd like to save it. You are a great photographer my friend!
Much love, Kat.

hope she doesn't lock that bike on the street in nyc….

sweet thigh, la la.
i want skin jeans like that and the legs to put them into.

She looks sharp and strong and, as my mom would put it, "full of the devil" … lovely!

@ Eryl–that's one of the sweetest comments I've read here. If you have a daughter, she's a lucky kid. :)

Are the leopard spots a tattoo or body paint? I love them!!!

Think what you may Anonymous at 2:52, but once you and your tattooed friends get older, your tats will droop and wrinkle just like your face.

Have you people never heard of a Fixed Gear bike? You simply remove all the breaks, which makes the bike lighter and an easier ride. But stopping the bike is another story… Great shot though. I like how you capture style in many forms. I follow your blog ritually, and you never disappoint!

so punk!!!

Thats right Terry! Yall don't know skrimp about skrimp bro! It is entertaining to actually read some of these comments. Homegirl is working hard right now. the bike is not old (I sold it to her 2010), nor do we "take the breaks off so its lighter and easier to ride?" haha. This photo dexterously portrays the simplicity of our everyday lifestyle. Not to offend anyone; although it is a little funny how much hate I've felt reading these comments. After delivering your packages in the rain sleet and snow all day ere' day, give a little respect to someone else's lifestyle. Nice flick Sartorialist. Ill see yall on the street. !QuikTrak Represent!

there is nothing funnier than women who dye their hair, get botox and plastic surgery and starve themselves having issues with people with tattoos. My mother's tasteful tattoos that she got 25 years ago are just as lovely now as they were when she got them and she can actually smile and move her facial muscles since she doesn't do all the fake crap.

this girl is a great snap shot of what is so common and wonderful in cities in the US. It's not revolutionary for any of us that actually live in cities but I think it's great you are exposing more sheltered people to real street style.

as for wearing tight pants, the last thing you want to have happen is catching your pants in the chain.

She looks fit and happy. So nice to see. That bike is killer. I just noticed the scrapes on her legs. Be careful on those streets girl!

This so much more of a 'look' than an outfit…she is amazing because of her tattoo, her bike, her piercing, her cigarette. Leopard print tattoo is so incredible! Jealous.

for those crying about her not wearing a helmet, odd how you didn't say anything about her cigarette. im guessing it has a lot to do with the how participants in conventional society so accept them despite the fact that theyre so incredibly harmful.

people should wear helmets if they want. great, if you feel safer.

there have been many studies that have shown drivers get closer to cyclists who wear helmets thus helmets are actually more dangerous. also, id bet this girl is safe as heck although im sure to the lay person it appears to all be quite dangerous.

and riding in tight jeans is safer and more practical… imagine being a runner and wearing something baggy. that would be ridiculous, no one does it. i bet her jeans are a softer, more giving denim as well.

this girl knows EXACTLY what she is doing!

that great looking biker chic is my beautiful daughter . a total free spirit full of fierce independence and a golden heart . We raised her that whatever path she followed in life we would always be there to walk beside her . We love her very muck and couldn't be more proud of her . Ride on biker chic and WEAR THAT DAMNED HELMET I BOUGHT YOU

Style points: 100 out of 100
Hip & urban and she owns her look completely

Helmet & cigarette points: 0 out of 100
Her life, her choice, but distracting in a pic because it makes me think the person is a little icky for smoking and a little too vain for a helmet

I'm not the judge, but I do think it distracts from the fashion.

Its so good site and reliable for post the blog.

Leopard print tattoo???

Sexy tomboy look. Love the skinny jeans turned up.

Too bad I'm wearing this cap? im sorry, but I happen to like alot of the products vermarc has.

dude this chicks adorable with her beat up shins, pink fixed-gear bike, puma speed cats, pops of color, confident swagger AND her cigarette and no-helmet-ness.
there is something weird about picking and choosing what parts you like and would leave out.

omg no brakes! ack! haha. what a great shot. you have such an eye for lighting. le sigh. looks like she belongs in portland, or. im lucky enough to see hot biker mamas like this everyday! cheers!

Makes me miss NYC, in a big-big way.
