Our favorite functional fashion accessory of the summer is a new brand of bicycle. Whether you are meeting a friend for a taco brunch at La Brisa, checking out the surf at Ditch Plains, or warming up before a Yoga Shanti class in Sag Harbor, why not cruise around the Hamptons in style?

Brazilian New Yorker and entrepreneur, Lorenzo Martone, recently launched Bicycles by Martone Cycling Co. Every bike has a distinguishing red chain with automatic changing gears depending on your speed. Built for men or women, cool colors include: red, white, black, silver, and gold.  Like to accessorize? Use the baskets built into each handlebar for fruits you picked up at the farmer’s market, your Tory Burch jellies, or your new rescue puppy from SASF [hint, hint!]

Here are some of our favorite models:
