Bike Riding Still in Vogue

Okay, we covered the bike-as-fashion-accessory story last year. But it looks like it may be more than a passing fad, at least for those who consider J. Crew to be fashionable. The Jorg&Olif Scout CityBike is featured in the clothing retailer's spring catalog, and as of this weekend they were hawking the "sweet rides" in the Time-Warner Center display window.

Okay, we covered the bike-as-fashion-accessory story last year. But it looks like it may be more than a passing fad, at least for those who consider J. Crew to be fashionable. The Jorg&Olif Scout CityBike is featured in the clothing retailer’s spring catalog, and as of this weekend they were hawking the “sweet rides” in the Time-Warner Center display window.

Now that it’s getting warmer, maybe we’ll see more “spokes model” coverage as the famous and style-obsessed make cycling de rigueur.
