At least this article didn't start off with a "oooooh, this is so haaaard" attitude, but I still find it kind of terrible. I don't know that any of the "cute little points" she mentioned are true.

And biking in 3 inch heels? Seriously? Look - one could write an article on how difficult it is to walk between the car and the office, and how hard it to press the accelerator and brakes wearing 3 inch heels, so one shouldn't drive to the office with 3 inch heels either.

If she had mentioned that she had to wear tennis shoes and carry her shoes in a bag, and that was a total fashion faux pa (yeah I probably didn't spell that right) at least it would have been informative.

These articles really annoy me because in reality there are a number of drawbacks to bike commuting to work. I would love to see a discussion that's based on the real pro/cons of that stuff - like not being able to meet people across town for lunch or run errands because it takes to long to bike there. Or being unable to pick up kids after work. But this stuff where someone barely even tries and gives up after the slightest obstacle...they suck.
