Cool Classic: Vintage-Style Bicycles

March 10th, 2012

We’ve been treated to an early Spring here in Connecticut so I thought I’d devote some space to one of my favorite warm-weather designs: the vintage bicycle.  Not the high-performance, weekend warrior machines, but the classic, curved lines-and-a-basket variety that looks effortlessly chic from the streets of Rome to the beach paths of Nantucket.

I love their beautiful pop of color, timeless look and carefree spirit – like a pixie dust transporting you to a perfect Sunday afternoon.

I snapped this beauty on the streets of Nantucket last summer - who could resist the gorgeous leather finishes against that soft Champagne color?

Here’s another Nantucket moment – and such a stylish sendoff for a pair of newlyweds:

Is there a lovelier way to enjoy the scenery?  Bienvenuto, Spring!

About

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by design and the subtle impact of our surroundings.  Some of my earliest influences still resonate – I think of the dark woods and textured lodens of my father’s shooting club, the smell of fresh paint on a new canvas, and the bold symmetry of the Philip Johnson Glass house just down the street.
