Bicycle as Furniture

Just saw this posted on the Slow Bicycle Movement's facebook page - quite possibly the most elegant use of a bicycle as furniture.

Form AND function.  Indeed.

Blink and you miss her........

The elusive chic citizen cyclist, flying by.  Some days it's hard to get the lens cap off in time but it turns out to be perfectly framed anyway.

We're Not Chic - I'm Wearing My Slippers!!

"But we're not chic?!" they said - well we at Cycle Chic beg to differ.  What could be more chic than just popping out for an evening family ride in the 'hood on your new gorgeous vintage style Schwinn bikes.
No gear, just as you are.  And I like being called blog lady :-)

Heels, Bike, Action!

Mmmmmm.  Turquoise bag, orange bike, cute shoes - looks like Summer's almost here!

Cycle Chic Cargo Bike Nicked!!!

And so it was that just before Christmas, the time of goodwill towards our fellow humans, some sods decided to get the bolt cutters to Mr Chic's Kona Xtracycle and ride it away from Kings Cross Parking Station in Sydney.

Not only is it one of a kind and loving built by Mr Chic but it has stunningly, sustainably transported all manner of Sydney Cycle Chic stuff and kids to events across the city and we need it back!

Will we be as lucky as Mikael in Copenhagen and his stolen Bullitt???

If you see it please email me and call Kings Cross Police on 02 8356 0099 who have the report.

Chic at Any Age

Just brilliant.  More Everleigh Market gorgeousness.  Great to see older riders around so much lately too - and what is age anyway?  Just a number right?
It reminds me of this brilliant campaign from the City of Sydney that gets cheers every time it's aired publicly.

Everleigh Market - Ever Chic

We finally had some sunshine in Sydney on Saturday and the Everleigh grower's market at Carriageworks was teeming with people and bicycles.

It's what community markets are all about - local, ethical, sustainable produce bought and transported locally on ethical, sustainable bicycles.  Yuri's cherries were the highlight this week for me - yum!

A basket of flowers and Christmas Bush - glorious.

And some not-so-real flowers...... and my fennel.....

Three Colours Red

There's a brilliant blog I've been following for a while - Downtown From Behind.

It's a quirky, unique photographic series of people on their bikes in lower Manhattan.  A great concept and beautiful photographs.

This was a little more haphazard but I love the reds and the pink bike.

Muuse Meets Cycle Chic

Everybody's making films with bicycles in them these days it seems - it's certainly a very powerful way to spread the bike love.  This gorgeous filmette is a collaboration between Copenhagen Cycle Chic and Muuse.com, a brilliantly ethical, sustainable clothing label.  Featuring beautiful Velorbis bikes - who could ask for more.

More on the making of here.

I bike Budapest

Now that's what I call a hat.....  a lovely little film from our friends over at Cycle Chic Hungary

Omafiets for Everyone!

A little slice of Amsterdam has finally arrived in Marrickville thanks to those clever chaps at Glow Worm Bicycles.   They have expanded around the corner with a shop crammed full of more old Dutch bikes than you can poke a spoke at.

A veritable treasure trove of cool old used bicycles and great kids bikes too.  Forget the over-priced dull blue and pink kids bikes we're used to here and think rainbow coloured wheels of joy with mini version chain guards, back racks and yes skirt guards to impress your pint sized cycle chica.  Cycle Chic Kids indeed!

STOP PRESS - they now also hire bikes - BRILLIANT
