New York Times focuses on a Portland family

Portland Karen Werstein in the NY Times.

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:

“…thanks to miles of new bike paths paid for with federal money over the last two years…cycling is becoming more accessible and less intimidating for parents who are serious bicyclists looking to take their small children along for a ride…”

Nick and Karen tested various trailers, child seats, and even a bakfiets.

Check out how everything stacked up and watch the slide show here.
