On the Street - Redfern

Market Day

I think we're going to like our new home.

We launched our Green Chic Project on Saturday in partnership with Sydney Sustainable Markets and spent a gorgeously chilled few hours pimping bikes (and scooters) and chatting about bikes and veggies and bees and all things sustainable.

Great to catch up with Peter from PS Bikes too and take the gorgeous Christiania cargo bike for a spin.  Really looking forward to some exciting collaboration there....

Like us on facebook to keep up with project details.  We'll be running workshops and events at the markets at Taylor Square on the first Saturday of every month from April 7.

     

Red Bicycle Day in the Republic

Cycle Chic Kids Roll in to Taylor Square

We're excited to be kicking off a series of bike-themed urban sustainability workshops and events this weekend at Sydney Sustainable Markets with the return of the much loved Cycle Chic Kids!

Little kids (and big ones...)  can drop by the stall at Taylor Square from 9am-1pm on Saturday 25 February to pimp up their bikes with our re-purposed, re-cycled crazy craft.

Guaranteed to make your ride more colourful or your money back.   No wait, it's free!

These monthly events in partnership with Sydney Sustainable Markets are part of our Green Chic Project and we have big plans.

Want to weave your own bike basket or make a bamboo crate to get your veggies home in?
Fancy checking out some cargo bikes and seeing just how much shopping and kids they can hold?
How about racing one - are you game?
The Slow Bicycle Movement - how slow can you go?
Finally want to learn how to fix up that old Schwinn you have in the garage?
Maybe you just want to show off your handsome bike in our pop-up instant photo-booth - we have props :-)

Surely one of the loveliest, friendliest local markets in Sydney we're very happy to have found a home so please stop by, have a coffee and say hello, we'd love to meet you.

Event details will be posted on the facebook page or email us to be added to the mailing list.

Cycle-Skating - the New Sport of 1923

I just love coming across snapshots of historical craziness like this.   Just brilliant.

Is this the BMX stunt 1920's equivalent???

Mobile Moments - Series 2, Part 3

They just keep getting better and better...
The thing that fascinates me most is that you never actually see the Christianiabike they are riding in - but the facial expressions say it all.

See all the films here.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the making of these films - wonderful.

Bicycle Love For Everyone

Mobile Moments - Series 2, Part 2

More! More! More!

Happiness is a cargo bike.....

Mobile Moments - Series 2, Part 1

More happy smily people in the Christianiabike, sailing across the Perth Cultural Centre for the followup series of film portraitures for the Proximity Festival as part of Fringe World 2012.

This is a fascinating series - loving each film a little more each time I see it.

Cargo Bikes Make You Smile - Part 1

It's film week this week at Cycle Chic.

Here's a gorgeous series of films by Road Physical Theatre.  This film portraiture project was conceived and developed by Sarah Nelson during a 2011 Artist Residency with DADAA Inc, a community arts project in Derby, Kimberly Western Australia.

The (mainly) unseen star of the films for us is the Christianiabike - how could you not smile...

Just Another Sunday in the Park....

Someone remarked on facebook that Tanja looks like she's in a Yoplait ad - we say that's the funniest best comment ever... but so true.
