Meet the Sexy Ladies of the '2014 Bike Date Calendar'

What do women want in male partner? For Colorado photographer Corie Spruill, it might be a taste for home-cooked Italian pasta, a dashing sense of style (think bowtie), and a set of well-oiled gears she could use to ride him all over town.

That's the surreal vision of Spruill's new project, the "2014 Bike Date Calendar," which depicts women bonding with anthropomorphic cycles in the shower, at a grassy picnic, over a barroom pool table, and in other pleasant settings. The 30-year-old photographer spent nearly two years making the series with friends in Carbondale, a small town in the Rockies 120 miles west of Denver. She hopes to give a different portrayal of female riders than the ones in more mainstream calendars, such as the European extravaganza of swimsuits, body oil, and national holidays that is Cyclepassion.
