Riding in Style

Biking around town is the new "it" thing to do. Its "green", scenic, and costs less than other transportation....or does it?

Gucci creative director Frida Giannini has teamed up worth Italian bike maker Bianchi to bring the "Bianchi by Gucci"

The 2 speed, white frame model pictured above goes for $5,000. Thats even more than the Hermes Bike. However, this is not the only model. An all black carbon frame model can be purchased for $14,000.

So strap on those signature red and green web gloves and lets go for a ride....in full luxury Italian style.

City Biking: Living to tell the Tale

Let me begin by saying I think this is going to be my new obsession! It was very frightening at first when taxis were passing me about 2 feet away, but then it just became pure fun.

So we picked up our bikes, and the first thing i noticed was my eyeball bell?? Still trying to figure that one out

this was my bike...cruiser style..love. And its made in Germany (I love German Engineering)

so we headed up Park Avenue...in search of a truck with free coffee

after many bell ringings. "Oh My Gods", "What should i do"...we finally made it to our original destination. Voila free coffee truck

we made our way across town hoping to reach the Westside Highway with its infamous biking path. 

After fearing we were in the lane to go through the lincoln tunnel, we did make it to the Westside Highway. It was so nice

views of river were amazing

with the city behind us

From there we headed down to Bleecker, perhaps my favorite street.

what could be better than biking on a West Village street surrounded by some of your favorite stores such as Ralph Lauren

needless to say, the helmut really cramped by style....
