Gorgeous Bicycle Illustrations from Denmark

SO love these illustrations from Danish graphic designer Mads Berg - not all his work is bicycle related but hey, this is Cycle Chic after all.....

Great Gazelle Giveaway - Cycle Chic Sundays SMH Growers' Market Competition

This Saturday's ride is all set to be another fun event.  My search for a cycling chef to join us has been a dismal failure, perhaps they are just pacing themselves before October's foodie month of mayhem begins.
So good friend and foodie blogger Tanja from i (heart) my food will be joining us on her new Velorbis (yes I eventually get to all my friends.......) along with William who we met on the last ride.  He promises he'll "play chef" and he's half Danish so I'm expecting some delicious Nordic inspired picnic nosh - watch out René Redzepi!

I am also very excited to announce that we have joined forces with our lovely friends at Gazelle Australia who will be awarding one of their beautiful Basil panniers to the chic-est rider of the day.
So, if you needed and excuse to dress up here it is.

How it will work.  I'll be taking photographs of the best dressed riders and posting them on the blog and inviting everyone to vote.  Voting will be open for 1 week and the rider with the most votes wins the pannier.  Simple.  You can even vote for yourself!
All you have to do is embrace your inner cycle chic god/goddess and ride with style.

Full details of the ride here and it's not too late to RSVP on the facebook page - look forward to seeing you all on Saturday.

I'm in love

Why has it taken me over 20 years to become re-acquainted with cycling ? It's more than riding a bike - that you never forget - it's freedom........
Copenhagen Cycle Chic has a lot to answer for. Mikael I thank you.

Meet Inge. I started my mission to find the perfect classic bike about 6 months ago and of course discovered Velorbis right away. Endless hours of blogging and googling later, I am now the proud owner of my own piece of Danish cycle perfection.
I didn't go out with the intention of purchase but it just sort of happened, as these things do, and the very next day she came home.

So Sydney, wake up and join me - I know you're out there. This may be the worst city on earth for cycling but I will not be beaten.
