Life Cycle
A LOT OF SO-CALLED city bikes look good but fall short on the quality-of-ride side. Not so the Scott SUB 10 (Speed Utility Bicycle, $1,100, scottusa.com), which delivers a killer combo of style and performance. Its "touring geometry" and disc brakes keep it comfy and stable at high speed, while a special rear dropout easily accommodates a rack. As for cutting your carbon footprint? Slap some Jannd Grocery Bag Panniers ($53, jandd.com) on the back and use them as your sack at the store. You'll save fuel, cut waste, buy local and look cool. After all, chicks dig earth-friendliness.
