Holy Chic

(the above image remains the property of the people who shot it, in this case, Knog)


So, Knog is a bicycle accessories company that has just opened a store on Chapel St.

If you don't think bicycles have crossed the threshold into the world of 'designer accessory', think again.

That's all well and good mind you - Crumpler have been weird for years now, and fashion bikes are still bikes so long as someone rides them - but my question is this; do you really want to buy a bike no one else in the country sells (Swobo), from a store that doesn't appear to have a mechanic? How can you have a relationship with your bike store if your only interaction with them is to buy new accessories? Eventually, you're gonna have them all, and then what?

Having said all that, Knog Lights are very, very nice.
