Cycle Chic Kids Go West!

We're excited to be getting out of the Eastern Suburbs this Saturday and taking the Cycle Chic Kids bike magic on the road again!

Lord Mayor Clover Moore will be officially opening four beautifully revitalised community spaces over in Erskineville and we'll be setting up shop in Lillian Fowler Reserve between 11 and 1 on Saturday 5 November so come on down and say hi - bring your kids and their bicycles and get crafty with us.

Cycle Chic Kids is all about getting kids excited about riding by getting them to bling up their bikes using recycled or repurposed materials.  You may have seen us at the WOOP Bourke Street Festival earlier this year and we do love to bling bikes..... little kids and big "kids" welcome!!

Oh Happy Day

What a fun day we had last Sunday with our bike craft workshop in the Happy Talk House.  The bamboo bike crates looked gorgeous as did the ones made from re-purposed irrigation pipe crates.  It was so wonderful to see everyone interpret the basic design in their own way.

We were so inspired that we've started work on a range of re-purposed timber crates too so if you're at the Sydney Rides Festival Street Fair this weekend, stop by the Cycle Chic stall for a sneaky preview.

Now I just want to see all these crates on bicycles and some flower wheels riding around Sydney!
