With a Spring/Summer 11 collection that's already changed the way fashion sees knitwear, it's no surprise that Craig Lawrence is quickly becoming a well-talked-about kind of a guy.

As the weather improves and the days become long, what better activity is there to pass the hours than bike riding? That's what Matt Hurst from The Humble Vintage thinks, hiring out some beautiful vintage rides for a small fee.
