It was the colours that drew me to the most recent cover of Les Inrockuptibles. Great illustration, too. Simon Roussin is the author of three books and many successful commissions so far. Check out examples of work on his website and blog.

I am happy to admit from the off that I am shoehorning the French thing into this post, but it's worth it. I have just come across the most lovely website, thanks to a reading of Les Inrockuptibles, the other evening. So you see, the source is French. New York's Adeline Adeline is, in their own words, 'A Very Nice Bicycle Shop'. And it really is. It has a clean, healthy, and stylish look and it's all really believable. So much so that I (who tends to cycle biennally) would now like to buy a bike. I'd also like to buy many of the bags featured on their website, as well as a kid's bike and a helmet and a basket. Possibly another few bits and bobs, too. I may well be tackling Edinburgh's steep slopes, sometime soon. And when I'm not out showing off my bike, it'll be propped up in our hall, as a good bit of interior design.
