The City Biker

If there is going to be one man in 2013, who will set the fashion bar for men riding custom-built Harley-Davidson bikes, then I think that David Beckham is that man. Riding in style around Malibu, David demonstrated his fashion sense and more than pulled off the biker look with a black T-shirt, wayfarer sunglasses and an open crash helmet. Everything was picture-perfect with his brown driving gloves dangling from the back of his belt. I, especially, loved how he paired his brown-red leather shoes with his dark, khaki colour beanie casually tucked into his jeans. No need for a man-bag here guys, David is showing us it’s all about riding in style.

Why Ride a Motorbike In The City

Parking is a nightmare at the best of times, but if you live in London or another major city, it can be impossible! A 125 cc machine will typically cost less than 10 pence per mile to run and many scooters can achieve 100 mpg, making them far more fuel efficient than cars or trucks. In addition to the obvious fuel savings, switching to two wheels will also save you money on road tax, servicing and insurance – as well as reducing your carbon footprint. Not only can they be cheaper to run, scooters and motorcycles can also be cheaper to buy! When compared to new and used cars, two wheels can be found to be are far cheaper than four. In addition to this you’’ll often find that parking for motorcycles and scooters is free! Travelling on two wheels doesn’t only save you money, it saves you time as well! On a scooter or motorcycle you can easily negotiate traffic and leave all the queues behind. http://www.metropolismotorcycles.com

Riding Safely & Fashionably in The City

It’s important to be road safe, but if you are just cruising though the city streets and just want to attract attention, then it’s time to think about how to get your city style on trend. The cities are a perfect platform to show off your style, you’ll be amazed by how many people are watching. What you wear while riding is a message you send out about your character and personality. Riding in the city is as much about displaying yourself and your style, as it is about going from point A to point B.

Jackets can make or break your image as a biker. Think about what jacket you want to show off and what message you want to be giving out. The tighter looking jackets are more popular now and can be the key in giving out a sophisticated, edgy look. You can never go wrong with black. Don’t be afraid to team it with a scarf around your neck; red is awesome and it just gives a classic urban twist to your look.
