Bike Hugger 

Again with bikes in the NYTimes! – this is like all the blogging stories in 2005, suddenly in 06, bikes are a popular topic. That’s definitely good for bike huggers and the story about Free City Supershop, a totally impractical retail experience has a great photo of a cruiser with a basket. There’s also some insight into being faithful to your ideas, how the Gap wants to rip you off, and to “make things with the simplest elements with the highest of possibilities.”

I can’t think of a better mantra for an urban bike.
