With a tip of the cycling cap to Bill Cunningham's long-running "On the Street" feature in the New York Times, or the sidewalk snaps of the Sartorialst blog, peloton offers up this installment for the Shutter photo gallery: Locked Up.

This week's subject is a big, easy cruiser bike, out for the night in New Orleans. Flat, intimate, and maneuverable, New Orleans is a perfect town for single speed machines. Plenty will choose fixie track bikes, but why not the cruiser? With fat tires to smooth out the rough patches, nice wide bars and an upright position to check out the view, this is the perfect bike for a spin en ville.
