10 New Ways to Wear White Jeans This Fall

White jeans are our latest closet staple to be put to the 10-outfit challenge, and we discovered they are endlessly chic no matter what the occasion.

White jeans are our latest closet staple to be put to the 10-outfit challenge, and we discovered they are endlessly chic no matter what the occasion. With the rules of fashion changing on a minute-to-minute basis, we think white denim can serve as your blank canvas all year-round (forget the no-white-jeans-after-Labor Day rule). But whether we reach for bow-bedecked heels, candy-colored leather jackets, or a diaphanous blouse, the best accessory was surely an adorable blue bike — by Adeline Adeline, of course. Watch now to see Sveta ride around Chelsea, showing off our favorite 10 white denim looks.

Geeking Out Over Velomobiles: The Bikes That Nerds Will Love

We love eco-friendly modes of transportation here on GeekSugar, but the best way to get around without a carbon footprint is by, well, using your feet.

We love eco-friendly modes of transportation here on GeekSugar, but the best way to get around without a carbon footprint is by, well, using your feet. Or in this case, legs. These Velomobiles are the perfect combination of self-powered transport and geeky style. These pod-like contraptions are actually recumbent bikes with an outer shell that keeps you protected from wind, rain, and bugs, and, because they're aerodynamic, you can go faster and farther. Let's face it, these guys look really fun to ride, and if you're in the northern part of the US this Summer, you may see a few whizzing by — the Coast to Coast Velomobile Tour is covering over 3,000 miles this Summer with over 50 riders from the US and UK! Check out a few more images of the velomobiles getting ready to be shipped from their home in the Neatherlands to the West Coast in the gallery!

5 Ways to Transport Tots in a Walking City

And away we go!
Stroller Alternatives

And away we go! I just returned from a trip to Amsterdam (Bugaboo flew me there to test out the Donkey — review to come!), but strollers aren't the only way families get around. In a city with more bikes than residents, parents have some creative ways to transport their tots through town...and, without helmets. According to the parents I spoke with on the tram, in the streets, and at cafes, head injuries aren't a concern. Take a look at some of the means of transportation.

Get on Your Cycle With the Vah-Genie

Introducing the first and only crocheted bike-seat cover to resemble a vagina.

Introducing the first and only crocheted bike-seat cover to resemble a vagina. Regretsy found this regrettable treasure of yarn called the Vah-genie. Not surprisingly, nobody wants to steal it.

I've been using 2 different covers on my bikes for over a year. I designed the seat covers so that they can easily be removed and put back on (by those in the know), once the seat cover has been adjusted to your particular bike seat. However, I rarely remove my cover and so far, I have had no reports of cover theft from other users.

No regrets there!

Would You Use a Bike Leash?

May is National Bike Month, and the roadways where I take my dog North on walkies are filled with wheels.

May is National Bike Month, and the roadways where I take my dog North on walkies are filled with wheels. It's pretty common to see cyclists running their dogs alongside their bicycle with a long leash, but it's critical to pratice safe biking and ensure your pup is big and strong enough to keep up. For those with four long legs, there's a whole world of expert toys and gear like this PetEgo Walky Dog Bicycle Leash ($36), which keeps doggie at a safe distance from your bike. Would you rock a gadget like this while running?
