Biker Chic
Summertime, and the ridin's easy... and it gets easier still with Bowery Lane Bicycles, the made-in-NYC, seen-on-the-Sartorialist, mode of transport.
With Dutch styling and American steel, the Bowery Lane Bicycle is a testament to old-school craftsmanship. Favourite style “The Breukelen,” in sheeny black, has the look of a vintage cruiser without its tricksy, rickety feel. Of course it costs more too, but with extras like sustainable cork handles and a signature wooden crate (holds your handbag or two six-packs), the price tag makes sense. Our city's bickering over bike lanes, but on a ride this fine, who needs 'em? Cars will move for you. —SNP
