Sod the Bike, Let's Kiss

Ah romance..... aint it grand.

Bondi Bike Cafe Bliss

I love doing the school drop-off as I get to spend time blogging in Katipo on Bondi Road aka coolest cafe bar in the 'hood.

Not only do they do a mean latte and lemon/yogurt cake but the owner Ben, together with brothers Marcel and Francis have a passion for fixing up old bikes.  Every day there is a different one hanging up with the vintage film posters.

Watch this space for news of their upcoming auction.  If you're in the market for a fixie, a chopper or a vintage ladies step-through, you won't want to miss this!!!

Cycle Chic is Alive and Well at Opera Australia

My day job at Opera Australia has unearthed all manner of chic cyclists....
It turns out that only one of the below is ACTUALLY a singer, however, we have a conductor, a senior manager, arts administrators, production/props, language coach, choreographer.....and these are just the ones I have in my flickr group right now.  I have a feeling that there will be a singing bicycle ride in the not too distant future.

Cycle Style, Bake Sales and Bicycles

Plans for this Saturday's Cycle Chic Sundays ride have taken over my life lately so before I get on with the final preparations, here is the latest from Sydney.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending time with Joyce from Cycle Style Australia.  She was in town for a few days doing some research for her stint as guest blogger on the Design Files - very exciting to be featured in her Sydney roundup today. She has also written about some great Sydney cycle destinations so check it out!
Of course we spent our time looking for cycle chic on the streets of Surry Hills, (what really, I hear you say)..... and we weren't disappointed!
