When Chanel included a bicycle on its runway last spring, it was a done deal: Cycling officially invaded the fashion scene. Luckily, it is here to stay.There are many reasons bicycles are in vogue: people want a healthier lifestyle, they want to reduce their carbon footprint, and probably because the likes of Aggy and other celebrities have embraced it. In short, it's healthy, green, and cool.
