Tour de Fashion: Spin Around Town in Designer Bikes Come NYFW

“We always felt that cycling was an extension of fashion,” said Michael Salvatore, CEO of Bowery Lane Bicycles.

The Fashion Center concurs, collaborating with the New York-based cycling company and inviting top designers to refashion a fleet of 30 bicycles for the “Tour de Fashion” bike-sharing program during New York Fashion Week.

Participating designers include Prabal Gurung, Nanette Lepore, Isaac Mizrahi, Elie Tahari, Rebecca Taylor, Diane von Furstenberg, and more.

At a time where eco-everything is chic, the program can’t come at a better moment. Throw New York and fashion into the mix, and you’ve got a formula that’s destined to win.

And guess what? These designer bikes are more accessible than you think.

From Sept. 8 to 15, you can find them at the plazas along Broadway in New York City. The rides are free, but you do need to put down a security deposit.

In addition to designer tags, the bikes also come with maps that show you where to spin around safely.

Keep fit. Look chic. That’s just brill.
