Mad Men on Their Bicycles

Ok so a friend tweeted me this link today from the Substantive Style tumblr page, an homage to sartorial men in suits - nice way to start April. One particular comment caught my attention.
"John Slattery....reaffirming my lolita-esque attraction to older men since 2007".

Couldn't have said it better myself. Am still searching for a photograph of Kevin Mcloud on his orange Brompton. Anyone?

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!

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.....

Classic Audrey Cycle Chic

It seems all you really need to ride in style is a classic blouson sport jacket, cigarette pants and a pair of loafers.  Add a classic bike and a cute puppy in your basket and you have it made.

Cute Boys On Bikes

My work colleagues and I think that Elvis definitely qualifies as a cutie on a bike on this Tuesday morning....

Something from the Archives

My long suffering, loyal friend Miss Milou joined me for a trip to Melbourne in June for some glamorous protesting.  Now I know she's reading my blog - she's on it!

Milou is also possibly the only person I know who rides in Vivienne Westwood - apart from Vivienne herself obviously.

Bike Babe Alert - Part 2

Ok so yes the previous pic of Brigitte Bardot shows her on, and I quote, "a noisy smelly obnoxious two-stoke engine sitting up there where any sane person would have a basket." - thanks to our Cycle Chic friend Garry for humorously pointing that out!

So to redress the balance, here she is again, hair in the wind, on a lovely upright bicycle.

Garry I can hear your sigh of relief from here.....

Bike Babe Alert!

Ahead of Sunday's ride, I thought it might be nice to get a little Summer bicycle inspiration.  Miss Eva from Cycle Chic Sundays posted this on her beautiful blog recently and then I came across it again today so just had to share.

I just need some sunshine in my life today

Lou Reed and his bike

The Man hits Sydney this week for Vivid Live at the Opera House.  Maybe he'd like to join us for a spin around town ?

Some classic style on a rainy bike free day

It's been raining in Sydney for days but seems like weeks, so little to do but delve deeper and deeper into the blogsphere and feed my bike addiction.

Loving this shot........
