On yer bike


Since my partner and I moved out of town and more towards the countryside we saw it fit to buy some bikes so we could ride down the local canal and go exploring, it's unfortunate these little beauties weren't for sale when we went to purchase them at Halfords! These are just a couple of the bikes that have been customised by some celebs in a collaboration with London's W Hotel for the new 'WOW Bikes' initiative which launched last night in Leicester Square. My favourite design of the bunch is that by Alice Temperley (Last pic - currently trying to get a wicker basket for my own bike!) the other designers joining her are singer Paloma Faith, Patrick Cox, Ron Arad (Second pic) and Natasha Law who has collaborated with Benedict Radcliffe. Whats even better about these bikes is that the guests of the hotel can ride them free of charge before they are auctioned off in aid of Elton John's AID foundation. I better get on and book a room....
