Vintage Bike Accessories Offered by The Bicycle Muse Make Great Holiday Gifts for Cyclists

Nov. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- SAN FRANCISCO, CA – November 16, 2010 – With the holiday season just around the corner, The Bicycle Muse is pleased to offer a wide range of bicycle gifts for the stylish cyclist on your gift list. Vintage bike accessories, such as the Deluxe Shopper Bicycle Pannier and the Nantucket Wicker Bicycle Basket, and fashionable Po Campo bags and YAKKAY bike helmets, make great gifts for cyclists who have an eye for both fashion and practicality.

The Deluxe Shopper Bicycle Pannier (www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/deluxe-shopper-bicycle-pannier-p-31.html), available in Lemon or Cherry, offers a chic way to transport belongings when biking to and from work, school, or the grocery store. Made from water resistant woven pine and complete with a zip closure and Velcro flap, this vintage style pannier attaches easily onto the back of a bike and keeps contents safe and dry. When you arrive at your destination, the pannier can be removed from the back of the bike and used as a bag.

Another vintage-inspired offering from The Bicycle Muse is the Nantucket Wicker Bicycle Basket (http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/nantucket-wicker-bicyc...). This classic woven wicker basket attaches easily to bicycle handlebars with two leather straps and adds instant elegance and charm! It is a great bicycle gift for cycling fashionistas and vintage lovers.

Is it a handbag or a bicycle bag? It’s both! Po Campo bags, which are made in Chicago, come in several styles that can be attached either to the bicycle rack or handlebars during a cycling trip. The perfect size for carrying all of the essentials, such as a wallet, keys, and mobile phone, these cute bags can also be detached from the bike and used as a stylish handbag. The Bicycle Muse offers several bags from the Po Campo collection, including the Po Campo Rack Bag (http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/campo-rack-p-171.html). They are a smart choice for fashion-conscious bicycle commuters.  

For those who want to make a fashion statement without compromising on safety, YAKKAY helmets (http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/helmets-yakkays-c-22_2...) are a perfect solution. This industry standard safety helmet comes complete with interchangeable, hat-style covers, so cyclists can change the cover to match their mood and their personal sense of style. Foam pads allow for adjustable sizing in order to ensure a safe, secure fit. The Bicycle Muse offers several YAKKAY helmet styles, including the Paris YAKKAY helmet (includes cap style cover) and the Tokyo YAKKAY helmet (includes trilby style cover).
