The Daily Mail has declared biking the "It" activity this season.

Agyness Deyn has an Electra, Chloe Sevigny loves her folding Royce Union and Jennifer Aniston is thrilled with her Chanel, a present from close friend Courteney Cox. We're talking bikes, because this season cycling has finally gone from geek to chic.
