You can see other ladies' bicycles in my post these week - complete with lady riders.
Chain guards seem to be left off modern bikes.

I love the detailed picture.

Nice splash guard on the back for those rainy days too.

I think the added detail seems a little odd here. Bicycles do seem to make for good stamps - they are the right dimensions, I think, to fit nicely on a rectangle.
