...woman rocker leading an otherwise all-male band, Chrissie Hynde has long been one of pop music's most fascinating and contradictory figures. Fond of skintight jeans, torn T shirts and excessive amounts of black eye shadow, she combines a punkish disdain for the world with an expressive, let's-get-it-on sexuality. As the songwriter and singer of the Pretenders, she manages to create buoyant, invigorating rock 'n' roll by weaving pop music's tunefulness with punk's aggressive energy.

...doctors, lawyers and bureaucrats pull on the skintight colors (now available in extra-large sizes) and don crash helmets, they also deck out their cycles with an ever growing array of mileage computers, ergonomically correct seats, gel-filled grips, rearview mirrors and other color-coordinated gadgetry. One hot new gizmo is a cyclist's heart monitor that transmits a continuous pulse readout to a special wristwatch...
