Bike Your Days Away In Long Island City
OK, so we can all agree Queens is making some strides in the hotel department. Though we originally put up a fight in 2010 about trekking so far just to see a rooftop bar, we've since expanded our horizons. For our next visit, however, we're setting our sights a bit closer to the ground.
The Ravel Hotel just announced a new bicycle amenity, the first of its kind by a hotel in the entire borough of Queens. Helping them achieve this goal is Bike New York, a nonprofit that promotes safe bicycling around New York City. Already, we can tell this is going to be a more practical endeavor than W London's celebrity-designed novelty bikes. Wouldn't want to be riding alongside the East River on one of those things!

Ron Arad Flaunts His Bike At The W London
Some of London’s hottest men (in reputation, at least) got on their bikes last night at the W London. Ron Arad and Patrick Cox were there to see the unveiling of their specially-designed bikes, as was Benedict Radcliffe, the bike crafter, and Jordan Smith, who rode the fixie round London in the launch video.
Sadly, none of the lady bike designers could make it (the event was postponed from last week, due to the London riots) but fashion designers Patrick Grant and Henry Holland showed face instead.

Check Out The New Custom Bikes At The W London
It’s turning into a fully fledged cultural Wuv-in at the W London right now. First, the (W)riters Library. Now, something that will appeal to design freaks and health heads alike: bikes!
But knowing W, these aren't just any old bikes. Each unit was built by Benedict Radcliffe and designed by Ron Arad, Natasha Law, Alice Temperley, Paloma Faith and Patrick Cox. This is far, far better than those projects where celebs “customize” a tote bag by scrawling something childish on it – each bike has been specifically tailored to the celeb’s exact specifications. And between ghettoblasters, hatboxes, and flashing neon tubes, the selection makes for quite a colorful array.

Portland's Ace Hotel Enters Fall With New Bikes And Artisan Booze
Ah, fall in the Pacific Northwest; it just makes you long to be outside, wearing your favorite flannel shirt and dreaming of chai tea. Luckily, The Ace Hotel in Portland, Oregon anticipated this and they've amped up their offerings for a refreshed and outdoorsy autumn.
First up are their new, specially-outfitted-for-Portland Swobo bicycles. Now we've all heard about the classic cruisers availabe at New York hotels, but Portland requires something more rugged, more street and trail-ready, and they've found it in their new fleet of six Swobos, with the customizations done by six different Portland bike shops. If you're a hotel guest, then you can feel free to borrow them for the day for free, and take in the fall foliage under your own power.
