You will often find Janet either on her bike or working hard in her studio at 401 Richmond. She's become well known for her great bike stencils, gracing many people's T-shirts, hand bags and so on. Momentum Magazine recently did an article on Janet Bike Girl.

Thanks for helping getting cycling images out there, Janet:

Attard reaps the benefit of such exposure through cycling activism: the more prevalent her bicycle imagery becomes, the more visions of bicycles will ride through the heads of the general public. Attard notes that the image of cycling has improved a lot over the last 15 years; yet car culture continues to dominate the visual landscape. “You see cars in commercials and movies all the time. There’s a lack of bike imagery out there. So little that people come into my studio thinking it’s a repair shop – any object with the image of a bike on it equals repairs in people’s minds.” The antidote for this one-track, car-centric thinking, Attard suggests, is to saturate society with depictions of bicycles, especially removed from traditional contexts.
