Leisure: For many, the 4th of July is the true beginning of summer, and what better way to enjoy the summer sun than by cycling around town on a hot new cruiser. For those looking to hit the pavement with something a little off the beaten path, sure to turn heads, there are Giovanna bikes, both sassy and sleek in black and white – matte.

That’s right, matte is more than just the “it” color for luxury autos this year. Giovanna is adopting the slick trend in their new line of cruisers, fit for every man, woman and child looking to mix it up on their two-wheeler this summer.

In 26”, 24” and 16” models (the latter for the little ones, complete with training wheels), riders get to choose from stand-out color combinations from the masculine matte black body with red wheels to the more feminine matte white with pink. Each bike has a lightweight aluminum frame, disk brakes on front and rear tires, an 8-speed shifter and contrast seat stitching. By Kate Prihoda
