, children, postal workers, everything you could think of, day and night riding bikes...and most of them on slicks even in the snow. One of the people I was there with used to be a racer and she said she was astonished by the handling skills and SPEED of these riders.
Were anyone wearing a full face mask? There is no way I would ride in those temps without a face mask.
As for spiked heels, I've only seen that once in New York City and it was very attractive! ;-) I would love to move there but Denmark is colder than New York and I hate the weather in the North East. The Netherlands might be a different story.
Did you see anyone using lights at night?
