In terms of smart transit options, little fits a city better than a handy bicycle. Or so goes the thinking of Rob Forbes, founder of Design Within Reach and a new venture, Public Bikes. Though these handsome rides, inspired by the stripped-down functionalism of Dutch city bikes, will easily get you from point A to point B, Forbes is as quick to point out that they are as much about urbanism and responsible transportation as they are about chain guards and fetching frames.
