1945 cycle chic

Even in 1945, photographers took pictures of women in skirts and dresses on bikes. And even with post-war privation, the women of Paris dressed up for their outings by bike.

Here’s a collection of photos from post World War 2 Paris, France in 1945 by photographer Ralph Morse.

Photos from the LIFE Magazine photo archive. Cycle Chic is a trademark of Copenhagen Cycle Chic.
