      I’ve done the City-to-Shore MS 150 three different times, and have seen this woman each time. She really does ride an old single-speed cruiser bike. She really does wear high heels and a dress!

      This reminds me of Fred Knoller, who used to win the national time trial championship for his 80 and over age group every year. He would ride the 25 miles in times around an hour and a half, which would be a respectable time for most of us at any age. Of course, he didn’t do it in heels and a dress – that would have been a different event entirely.
