Supermarket + cycling = sexy?

When it comes to a description of ‘sexy’, the image of someone cycling to a local supermarket on a basket equipped bicycle is probably not the first thing that springs to mind.

But, in certain situations, it can at least allow for a quick look at some buns of a non-currant kind.

    Don’t forget to mention the high-heels and rather unnatural pose :D…
    Somewhat sexy, me think :D…

      Yes, high-heels are perhaps not ideal for cycling, but they do provide quite a sight!

        Actually, I was thinking that they beat either toe clips or locked in cycling shoes for safety! (I’ve got to quit coming back to this post and get some work done.)

      I guess not, as she was there, in that pose, for quite a while. Certainly long enough for me to wait for a man stood in front of her to finally move out of the way. Asking him to move would probably have appeared a bit odd!

        Or a bit obvious. “Oi! Ji-ji, move!”

          The way he was faffing about it almost came to that!

    The best kind of buns. Finished nicely with a Mickey Mouse bag. Nice find.

      Cheers! Yeah, perhaps not surprisingly I only noticed the Mickey Mouse bag after I’d taken the shot!

    Maybe that’s how she got to look that good. All that cycling should do a body good

      I’ve been cycling for years, but I don’t look like that!

      It was along Hebi Michi in the Nezu/Yanaka area. I really like it round there.

    Japan, the land where every oddity becomes usual.
    How I envy those who have the chance to live/work there.

      It’s no utopia Mauro, but it does have it good points that’s for sure. If you really want to live here, I’m sure you’ll be able find a way.

    The girl is nice (definitely no complaining from me) but I think the location is great too. This shot is expertly framed and I love the depth that the road provides. Nice work! =]

    If you don’t mind me asking, what lens did you use to get this shot?

      Thanks!

      Nah, I don’t mind at all. I used the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4. My favourite lens for street photography. Well, my favourite lens full stop to be honest.

    today I was running outside and I thought about this picture. Maybe due to the mass media portrait of young ladies in Japan, I always wonder if there are a group of them actively jogging or running, etc. Do they even have something like sports bra here in US? just a thought. lol
