Laneway Cafe Chic

So we love the guys at Room 10 - best laneway cafe in Sydney in my humble opinion.  Not only do Dan & Dan ride bikes (or so they say...) they also look damn hot in their ibikeSYD t.shirts.

I made taller Dan wear the lady urban bike shirt and he did a spectacular job of camping it up. (sorry Dan, too good not to blog..)

They are also one of our Sydney t.shirt pick-up spots so when you order a shirt online, just indicate cafe pickup, save on postage and go visit the Dans.  You should order the breakfast rice - just do it, it will change your life - don't say I didn't warn you.

They're also getting some grief at the moment with their DA Approval so have been forced to remove their outdoor seating - ridiculous given that the other eateries up the street are operating as normal and wait, isn't there supposed to be support for cool urban laneway cafes?
Not sure how to help them at this point but we're working on a plan...... might involve deckchairs...

And yeah and their cafe is popular with hot chicas on hot bikes too....

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.

Launched!

Last Saturday saw the launch of the Bicycle Film Festival / Sydney Rides Festival in Sydney and what a great way to start.
We had a stall (our first ever) at the Street Fair and had a blast chatting with all our bike friends and blinging bikes.  Great to meet so many Twitter/Facebook followers too - always love putting faces to names :-)

We delivered everything by cargo bike too - well I say we.  The lovely and talented Mr Chic delivered everything (including child) and I rode leisurely along behind on my newly revamped white vintage step-through.....

I was also beside myself with joy seeing so many happy punters buy our new T Shirts and bags.  They've been in the works for a while so brilliant to see them walking around the Fair on real people!

We're in the process of setting up the online store but in the meantime if you want one drop me an email.
They're organic cotton, fair trade, made in a factory powered by green energy and we think they are pretty damn hot - available in mens/womens slimfit in white and dark grey for now but more colours coming for Summer.

It was about time Sydney joined the other new bike cities with these T Shirts - London started 'em, Barcelona has 'em..... Melbourne you're next!
