Say I stepped outside one exquisite summer day and discovered a private jet waiting to chauffeur me anywhere I wanted to go. (Work with me here.) It would take me approximately zero seconds to pick my destination: the beach at Hanalei Bay, Kauai. This ganglion of Hawaiian surf culture features sublime sand buffeted by Crest-colored waves. But the real deciding factor? The entire island is a cyclist’s dream. And this cyclist’s dream ride would be . Named after Paris’s famous cafés-and-couture street, this easygoing cruiser from San Francisco is ideal for beach bumming, with a sand-defying eight-speed internal hub and classic features designed to offer comfort and utility.

Note the elegant, step-through mixte frame, made of forgiving chromoly steel, the soft leather Brooks saddle, and the plush 35-millimeter tires. There’s even an optional (and perfectly manly!) basket for stashing everything from towels to surf wax to a six-pack. And unlike the La-Z-Boy-style bikes infesting most beach towns, the Rivoli, with its upright geometry, can still get you somewhere fast—if you must. ($1,495)

If your old Vans and a classic desert boot had a love child, it might look like this. The Earthkeepers quickly became our everyday shoes, even for impromptu hikes after work. When you wear them out, drop them off at a Timberland dealer or mail them back to the company, and they’ll recycle over half the shoe.

Rockport does a bafflingly good job of designing shoes that look intensely sophisticated yet remain incredibly comfortable. It comes down to the careful craftsmanship, which we’d expect to pay at least twice as much for. Far-flung dance floors on the horizon? Rock these.
