The New York Times online has a piece on folks who bike to work including Cobble Hillbilly Ben Watson:
NY Times: BEN WATSON pedals his 1960s Schwinn three-speed from Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, to SoHo in a designer suit and tie, custom tailored — tapered legs, a bit more room for movement in the jacket — to make riding less sartorially treacherous. It’s a lesson he learned the hard way with a new pair of Yves Saint Laurent pants: on his way to the Javits Convention Center for a trade show, the gears tore a gaping hole in the cuff. “I’m probably not wearing what most folks think one ought to wear on a bike, and maybe I do that on purpose,” he said. “I like to think that an old bike and a happy outfit can make you a little happier.” Mr. Watson, 45, the managing director of Moroso U.S.A., an Italian furniture maker, said that when he passes other stylishly dressed cyclists, they often give each other a “wink and a nod,” adding that this “happens with some frequency on the corner of Chrystie and Delancey.”
Ah, yes! Exercise is absolutely exhilarating! And nothing looks so suave as a sharply dressed individual on a bicycle. As a matter of fact, I doubled my bride to our wedding on a BMX.. Sharply dressed..
