the eco-labels: michael ziff
bike: City, no-name assembled bike, and Vintage 1970’s custom painted Murray cruiser label: Twice Shy, Fig Kids, and Clean Slate first bike memory: My purple bike with a purple banana seat. I remember riding around my neighbourhood and feeling very cool. biking as a means of transportation: When I sold my car, biking became my main means of transportation. But really I’ve always liked cycling to work and even cycling to go out at night for dinner, or to a club. stylish biking outfit: On the city bike it’s not about style, it’s about function. On the cruiser it’s all about style, and a hat is a necessary accessory. wildest place: Every year at Burning Man. fashion philosophy: Modern, playful, and sometimes political. Find your style and make it work for you and stand straight! people should wear on their bike: Whatever they want!
the children’s wear creator: karen stark
the jewellery artisan: christi york
first bike memory: Jealousy of my older brother who had cross-country “moto” style bike with a banana seat. I can’t even remember what bike I had, but it didn’t compare to his. He could get that thing going so fast down the hill of our front yard.
first bike memory: Being doubled on the back of a white glitter banana seat.
bike: Rocky Mountain Element, Rocky Mountain RM7, and a no-name red bike with a baby seat Label: Popo’s Ponchos
people should wear on their bike: Helmets helmet head: Throw on a hat biking and design: My kid’s ponchos are made for kids who need layers but aren’t willing to sit still to put a jacket on. They are perfect for kids on a bike, in a bike trailer, or anywhere active for that matter. wildest place: The TransRockies seven day stage race. It was insane; the views, the people, the riding, and the organization that went into putting racers into the mountains for seven days. Grizzly bears, mountain goats and neverending hills! hope for future: I would love to see as many bikes on the road in North America as there are in Amsterdam.
bike: Commuter- Rocky Mountain RC-30 and Vintage Raleigh “Super Bee” label: BuenoStyle
biking as a means of transportation: I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was about 26 because I’ve always felt that cars were a luxury, not a necessity, and if I didn’t really need one then why own one? Plus they’re so damn expensive! helmet head: Helmet hair is sexy. So are panty lines, FYI. people should wear on their bikes: Big smiles! biking culture and design: Sometimes thinking “Oh, I’d better put on a smaller pair of earrings, these won’t fit under my helmet strap.” hope for the future: I just want to keep happy by transforming vintage materials into something new and fresh, and hand-making the stuff. I also hope to see dedicated bike lanes, less cars on the bike routes, and better bike etiquette from other riders.
