For the urban-dwelling man, bike commuting isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. It allows us to dodge both rage-inducing gridlock and public transit—and our quads have thanked us for the workout, too. But unless you want to get decked out in a lycra bodysuit, conventional wisdom dictates that it’s hard to look good on your ten-speed. Right? Wrong. We’ve assembled six commuter-friendly items that’ll keep you looking—and smelling—fresh.
Red Dots cycling cap
$33.46
Until Red Dots came along, we approached the cycling cap as a necessary nuisance: It kept rain away from our faces, sweat away from our eyes, and we tolerated it (even if it made us look like Run DMC). Not so, at least not anymore. This tiny boutique has perfected the art of the cycling cap, manufacturing logo- and clutter-free headgear from cotton, linen and fine British wool. The hat hair, it would seem, is completely worth it.
