“THE graphic designer Julie Hirschfeld had a simple manifesto for Adeline Adeline, her bicycle boutique for women: “No spandex!” The result is a store aimed at fashionistas who wouldn’t consider Lycra bike shorts, or ditching their Louboutins just because they are on two wheels.”
The store, in TriBeCa, sells an assortment from polka-dot helmets, to an oversize organic linen bag from Japan that crosses over the chest for easy riding, bikes, loads of cute accessories, and you can even book an hour long consultation, which includes test drives. Bikes are repaired downstairs.
Adeline Adeline, 147 Reade Street (Hudson Street); (212) 227-1150
