What happens when the trends of going local, being green and having a slightly geek chic look all coincide at once? Why, riding bikes becomes the creme de la cool of course!  Bikes have been all the rage over the past few years. Whether you live in a giant metropolis and brave the commute alongside bike messengers and taxis or take a daily cruise along a much quieter beach path, having a bike is now an ubiquitous must.
