New York Design Week on Core77

for the LOVE of bikes at Model Citizens 2010 on display w/ Meredith Zuchman's 'GET LIT' exhibit of exquisite apparel exploring wearable light by integrating perforations, pleats and LEDs

Coverage of design + events from this year's fabulous Design Week (including for the LOVE of bikes' bent wood expandable bike basket!) on Core77...

"New York Design Week seems to be bigger than ever, with lots and lots of offsite events. We were especially proud of all the events celebrating new American design. These included Breakable in the Meatpacking district, Cite Goes America in SoHo, Lift Hold Roll, Modern Citizens NYC, The Roll & Hill launch, BKLYN Designs and more!"

Check out their entire New York Design Week photo gallery [here] + thank you, Core77!

hello CHANEL

A fun coincidence... a fashion-minded friend of mine made a visual match up: a gown from CHANEL's recent Shanghai ready to wear collection + for the love of bike's cycling glove

Imagine hopping on this Fendi bicycle in a Chanel evening gown (with matching gloves)! Dreamy...

Thanks, Scully

via the Manhattan Bridge

Curious as to how fellow cyclists are getting to work, I spent 90 minutes documenting 190 morning commuters heading over the Manhattan Bridge from Brooklyn and present to you some findings...

66% men 34% women

Helmet use:
64% wore helmets
(77% women / 58% men)

Types of bikes:
36% on road bikes / 30% mountain or hybrids / 18% on fixed / 11% cruisers / 4% fold-ups / 1% bmx bikes

Styles of carrying:
38% backpack / 31% messenger bag / 15% panniers-saddle bags / 7% rear racks (one being an Xtracycle) / 6% front rack or basket / 4% on handlebars

Btw, Brownstoner posted 'updates for Manhattan Bridge bicyclists' today.
