This bike snob thinks that the inclusion of bikes mentioned in the Gizmodo article simply points to poor art direction, and lack of content understanding on the stylist’s or even designer’s part. The bike is a photo prop, and like a car commercial which may have a model driving it, the point is not to notice the model but remember the car. The bikes in question draw attention to themselves in a detrimental way.
Actually…the reflector bike is bad, but the rest are less bad. A real gem is Tri-dork from Planet Fred that bikesnobnyc likes to use!
