Sydney Cycle Chic ♥ Gelato Cart

We love the guys at Gelato Cart and their hot pink Italian customised bicycle.
Here are a few out-takes from the street style pics I took for the latest Treadlie Magazine.

Julien (without hat) is currently off on a world tour, couch surfing and gigging by bicycle - if I track him down I'll do a story!

Look for them at Paddington Markets on Saturdays and the Bondi Junction Growers Market and EAT MORE GELATO!

More Cycleway Chic ('cause we can't get enough...)

Shiny happy people on Bourke Street in what we thought were the last days of Summer, or were they?

And yes I really DO try to get out of Surry Hills, honest, but as Michael Corleone said "Just when I thought I was out, they pull you back in..."

I can't seem to escape.

Some Vintage Bike Fun for Friday

If riding your bike doesn't make you sometimes feel like doing this, then you must be doing something wrong!

Bikes, Music, Action!

Some days you just need a catchy tune and a bicycle.  Thanks to The Prudent Cyclist for putting me on to this this morning from the brilliant Preservation Hall Jazz Band with Clint Maedgen hot out of New Orleans.
Enjoy!  More music inspiration from the blog here.

Grower's Market Cycle Chic

I've been doing some street style pics for lush new bike mag Treadlie and luckily for me some haven't made it in to the current issue so here they are!

First up is Jess and her Papillionaire at Everleigh Markets.

And Evelyn and her upcycled trout fishing basket - brilliant idea for a pannier - there's something so right about an English Pashley and trout fishing.....

Artalicious in the Rain

Personally, I don't mind a little rain when I'm riding - I've become quite adept at riding with a brolly and the centre of gravity on an upright Velorbis helps no end.  But heavy rain does tend to put people off so our much anticipated Art Month ride last Saturday was somewhat small but nevertheless perfectly formed.....

We seemed to narrowly avoid storms all day and rode from Flinders St Gallery up to Charles Hewitt on South Dowling Street and down to First Draft on Chalmers Street with barely a rain drop falling on us.

        

Surry Hills is art nirvana and chock full of galleries, artist run spaces and street art so I know we'll be doing this again - keep an eye out for our upcoming art rides.

And if it rains next time, I'm getting Yves Montand to hold my brolly for me.

Still another week of Art Month left and don't forget the Paddington/Woollahra ARTcycle ride is next Saturday March 26 with Nell Schofield, details here.

ciclo chic - vivere la vita pericolosa!

Hard to tell if she's screaming or laughing but Claudia Cardinale sure looks like she's having fun!
Good old fashioned bicycle fun.....

Too Cool for Skool - Surry Hills Cycle Chic Kid!

Just a normal Sunday afternoon in Surry Hills - riding your bike with your dad to dance class for some hip hop/capoeira  fun.

I WANT those shades!

Bourke Street Cycle Way Bliss

Great to see the Bourke Street cycle way in full bloom at the weekend.

Performers and Crazy Bike Stunts

I have no idea what this guy's act was but hey I like to see street performers doing crazy stuff with bikes on a sunny day!
Suggestions on a postcard please.....

Bicycles and Art[ists]

Warming up for our Art Month ride next week with some brilliant examples of bicycles and art.
Love this Picasso sculpture, Head of a Bull (1943).

The Last Days of Summer

Suddenly the air is getting cooler, the mornings are chilly, the evenings are darker and before you know it Autumn is here.  Might be time for a quick recap of Summer cycle chic.

 

Yep Today is All About the Fashion

It's nice to see someone taking notice of the little things.  Killer blue heels and matching rims - nice.

We'll be seeing more of Amanda and her beautiful Electra as she's another Opera Australia buddy.

I'm converting them all, one bike at a time....
