I loved coming across this little interview with Vivienne Westwood. It answers a reader's question in a prior post with Vivienne as to what bicycle she rides. It's a Pashley.
"How far do you cycle?
Every day from home to work, which is Clapham to Battersea. But I would cycle anywhere in town.
What bike do you ride?
I ride a Pashley.
Why do you cycle?
Because it’s convenient and the quickest way to get around.
Cycling tip?
I never ride very fast. If necessary, I walk up the hills. Sometimes I carry high-heels in the basket if I’m going somewhere where I’ll be needing them."

***Right now Girls and Bicycles has a nice 'Pashley 101', her personal review of the bicycle.
