Easy Rider: The Best Bike-Savvy Styles For Whizzing Through The Hot Months

By Megan Baldwin

Around these parts, lanes for cyclists are becoming the norm, bike-sharing programs are catching on like crazy, and even high-end labels like Hermès and superbrands like LVMH, are getting in on the action and offering up haute wheels and cycling styles for high-rollers. So, it was only a matter of time before the fash-pack joined the tour and started upping their peddling game. And we're not just talking helmets. At Alexander Wang there were racy bike shorts paired with mesh tops while Alexandra Cassaniti rounded out her summer collection with span-tastic neoprene numbers and totally Trek-able backpacks. Sure, it's a smidge sporty. But for the weekend warrior of a different sort, options like lacy bike shorts and bra-lettes lend this athletic look a bit of spice that's less Lance Armstrong and more Missy Rayder (or rider)!
