A Recycled Bike with a Buzz

 

THE RE:CYCLE EDITION ON DISPLAY AT SPRING STUDIOS FOR NYFW SPRING 2020

 
Swedish brand Vélosophy makes beautiful bicycles – classically designed with a modern appeal for the urban commuter. But there is more to these bikes than meets the eye. With a One for One promise, for every Vélosophy sold, another bicycle is donated to a schoolgirl in a developing country. At the core of the Vélosophy philosophy is a commitment to making a lasting and positive impact through cycling.

That also means using recycled aluminum to produce high-quality bicycles that balance sustainability and design – and you’ll get a buzz when you find out the source of that aluminum in their latest model. In partnership with Nespresso, the RE:CYCLE Edition is manufactured from 300 recycled aluminum coffee capsules! Read More

OOO-M-G!

 

 

Walking around the Outdoor Retailer trade show this summer, I stumbled upon the OOFOS booth. Feet aching after miles logged on the floor, I slipped on a pair of these fat-soled sandals and took a few steps into cushioned heaven…

OOFOS sandals are designed for athletes and fitness enthusiasts as a post-workout “recovery” shoe. After a long run, HIIT class, bike race, or walking a trade show, the OOfoam™ technology combined with a bio-mechanically engineered footbed have been proven to help your feet and whole body feel better faster.

Two extensive research studies have shown that the OOFOS cushioning and anatomical design helps reduce the load on feet, ankles, and knees while walking — reducing the stress on the rest of body as well. With 37% more impact absorption than the traditional EVA foam found in athletic shoes, OOFOS provide the whole body the opportunity to relax and recover. Read More

The E-Fleet Band

 

FARADAY CORTLAND $2499

 

Electric bikes, or “e-bikes”, have become one of the most popular categories of bicycles for both fun and commuting, opening the road up to many who might not have previously considered cycling as their mode of recreation or transport before. We’re talking “pedal assist” here, not those motorized bikes your take-out gets delivered on that require no pedaling at all. For those times when you need an extra boost of power while riding, and don’t want to break a sweat — say up a hill on your way to work — the e-bike is the way to go.

In the US, there are three classes of e-bikes defined by the speed and type of power assist. Class 1 bikes have a motor (max 750w) that assists while you’re pedaling and maxes out at 20 mph. Class 3 can assist up to 28 mph. Both are allowed in most states and cities without requiring a license. Class 2 models have throttles that don’t require pedaling in order to get a boost. The miles before recharging, or range of the bike, is determined by how much assist you use.

Most big name cycling companies now offer a class 1 e-bike option, as well many design-oriented bespoke brands, and even urban bike-sharing systems like Citibike have added e-bikes to their fleet. I rode an electric Citibike home from work earlier this week (they’re hard to find!), zipping up Madison Avenue in no time with a “I’m having a blast” look on my face. Even the taxi drivers were smiling at me. Read More
