On the Street

Great video piece this week at New York Time's On he Street, talking about Central Park to over the Brooklyn bridge being closed over the weekend & taken over by wheels.

Girls On Bikes

Treehugger talks about women on bikes. I'm not sure why some points are specific to women, but valid either way. The article also includes links to other research & articles.

New York Times on Cycling in Style

A friend of mine leads me to two New York Times articles that discuss biking as a lifestyle choice in New York City.



Project Bike Lane talks about a spring design competition hosted by Donna Karen & Renaud Dutreil - one asking students at the Fashion Institute of Technology to create a poncho, jacket & travel bag.



Riding the It Factor discusses the presence of cycling in New York City as a fashion statement, including comments on dutch bikes & city planning. A favorite quote here, "...where riding a bicycle to work in a suit and tie is as notable an act as drinking a cup of coffee, there is no bike culture — all culture includes the bike."



I also recommend picking up the Transportation Issue of Good Magazine. I got it for the trip & found myself fascinated by each article.
