"The reign of the purists is over"

Articles from big papers about cycling. The first, a review of tires found in the Fashion and Style section of the NYTimes. The Fashion & Style section? It's little ridiculous, if you ask me, but it does offer a good selection of urban rubber.

"The reign of the purists is over". I found a link via another good review of commuter style on BikeCommuter.com. This is from the Washington Post. It's a bit longer and broader, but it still has that East Coast urban vibe. It's hits the crux of the matter than the "trends" are changing; gone is the lycra and drop bars and entering are bikes used for real use, not play. There's nothing wrong with play; it's that the bicycle can do so much more, especially in times of need such as now. Yes, there is definitely mention of hte aesthetic aspect of retro-cum-nouveau, but I saw multitudes of 2-wheelers on my NY trip and I assume this article speaks to the nation's capitol as well. Love live the bike!
