What kind of Bike does a Fashion Designer/Photog Ride?

The Sartorialist is a street fashion photo blog run by Scott Schuman. I’ve been following it since 2006. It’s always been obvious to me that he had an interest in bicycles by the amount of stylish bike rider portraits and candid photos he posted. He recently posted a photo of his own bike stashed on […]

WalMart selling cheap dutch-style bikes
