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.

What single intelligent thing could possiboly come from Frank who probably
has never ridden a French bike,
