HHSS (Hip Hop Slave Shopper) is her new 'steed' (if I can use that word without getting the reponse of 'its a fucking bike' that I heard at SLBeers the other night).
Its got white tyres, so I guess it qualifies. But its racing green, which I'm not sure goes with her complexion / wardrobe. Its all an excuse to do more shopping isn't it?
As someone says above, its tailored to your experience and bike usage. A friend of mine who did it, would have never commuted to work or even cycled in London beforehand, but now does it daily. Admittedly she has panniers, a tabard and a mountain bike, but its a step in the right direction.
