America may be a nation obsessed with automobiles, but today the bicycle is giving the car a run for its money. & while New York is just one of many cities that is implementing new & exciting bike-friendly policies, the local cyclist population stands out as one of the most diverse, inventive, & stylish in the world. New York Bike Style celebrates this diversity with full-page photographs of riders & their bikes. Photographer Sam Polcer has combed New York`s five boroughs looking for subjects who reflect the myriad styles & demographics of the city`s cyclists--from Puerto Rican Schwinn aficionados celebrating their heritage with vintage bikes to fixed gear freaks who eat, sleep, & breathe drop handlebars; BMX kids honing their bar-spins at skateparks to fashionistas floating down leaf-strewn streets in capes & dresses. Each page is captioned with the subject`s name, what kind of bike they ride, where the photo was taken, & where they`re headed. The book also features close-up shots of gear: wheels, seats, handlebars, baskets, pedals, & panniers as well as a startlingly stylish array of bike fashion. Whether they`re pedaling to work or play, racing with a club, or out for a lazy ride, New York Bike Style pays photographic tribute a city in love with biking in all its forms. With contributions from David Byrne & Casey Neistat. ...
