I was donating a photograph for the Walk SF benefit party being held at DB + P. The entire staff rides bikes to work, and they all dress impeccably, including David Baker in his tweed wool trousers. David and I discussed the fashion differences between San Franciscan cyclists and European ones, one of which is the choice to wear a helmet or not. He showed me his pinstriped helmet:

Another great profile. Thanks, KT.
Very nice. The helmet detail makes his kit über special to me.
