Whoa! Exposed cables! Down tube friction shifting! Center pull brakes! 36 spoke wheels! Full sized frame pump! And she's not in a "protected" bike lane! Is it even possible to ride that way? ;-)
"She adhered to safety regulations by having a black helmet on, wore pink trainers and had a red jacket tied around her waist" is nonsense. There is no helmet regulation that applies to her.
And the jacket around her waist is not a particularly good idea, although it's at least better than tying it around the handlebars. I know a guy who did that and had a sleeve dangle into his front wheel. His next couple seconds were far from fun.
