The Fashion and Style section of today’s New York Times features a gear test of family biking products.
Chosen as testers and photographed for the story were Portland couple Nick Fenger and Karen Werstein along with their 2 year-old son Max and his friend Aidan Kinney.
I love the introductory blurb that accompanies the photos:
Gray Gary Fisher Tassjara XL with old black blackburn rack.

After nearly a month since the launch of their ambitious “Velib” bike-sharing program, the city of Paris has been transformed by two-wheeled transit.
An article published today in the Times of London states that in the first three weeks, the bikes were borrowed a whopping 1.2 million times.
With Portland considering a similar program, the success in Paris will give Commissioner Sam Adams’ “Red Bike” idea even more momentum.
Here’s more from the story in the Times:
Gabe Graff started working at the Community Cycling Center (CCC) over two years ago. That may not seem like long, but given the expansive changes the organization has gone through in that time, Graff could be considered a well-worn veteran.
Later this month, his tour of duty in the trenches of Portland’s bike community will come to an end when he leaves the CCC for another adventure: teaching English to fourth-graders in Honduras.
During his tenure at the non-profit, 25 year-old Graff says he has gained more skills and experiences than he ever expected. He was hired as part-time, seasonal help and worked his way up to Program Director.
