Polo Rugby Tweed Run

Fitness and fashion? Sign us up! Inspired by this year's British cycling event, the Polo Rugby Tweed Run will take place in New York on Oct. 15. The proper attire for such an event are tweed jackets and vests, newsboy and driving caps, and herringbone belts and ties. Bikers will begin in Manhattan, break for a spot of tea and crumpets, and end with a proper do in Brooklyn. That’s British slang by the way. We won’t be around for the biking, but you can bet we’ll be around for the partying. The Tweed Run is sure to bring out a tapestry of style, and it has inspired these selections for your consideration — available here.

Kate Spade: The Bike Maker

Have you ever dreamed of cruising the streets of your town or city on a killer set of wheels? Well bicycle wheels that is. Kate Spade has collaborated with Adeline Adeline to create the perfect cruiser for any bike-goer. Crafted by Abici in Italy, the bike is sleek, retro, and absolutely adorable. It comes in Spade's classic "Kelly Green" hue and features a steel frame, English-style leather saddle, a silver rear rack, and a night-friendly front light. The best part? The cruiser has a chain guard so go ahead and throw on your flowy dress and cute wedges and have no worries of chain grease stains and scratched ankles.

This fashionable form of transportation will be sure to turn heads and add an unexpected splash of color to your summer outfits. However, riding in style doesn't come cheap. Priced at $1,100 the bike comes in two sizes (26" & 28"). Check out the cruiser online here!

I Want To Ride My Bicycle

Brains are funny things; no thought ever comes to fruition without connecting to a hundred other little thoughts. I was thinking about biking the other day and how it was one of the first fashionable "green" things to do. Then I came across this article about People's Revolution public relations maven Kelly Cutrone and her Sunday routine, which of course involves biking. Cutrone bought bikes for all the girls who work in her office and calls biking "a perfect combination of eco-warrior, cardio, cool girl, and danger."

Then came the discovery of Bike Snob NYC, a collection of clever musings (and the occasional rant) about biking in New York, everything from complaining about SUVs parking in bike lanes to mocking ridiculous bicycle inventions like "Bike Shelves." Funny and informative: just about anything you could ask of a blog!

See how my mind works? Guess bikes were really on the brain today.
