Cycle Chic Kids Roll in to Taylor Square

We're excited to be kicking off a series of bike-themed urban sustainability workshops and events this weekend at Sydney Sustainable Markets with the return of the much loved Cycle Chic Kids!

Little kids (and big ones...)  can drop by the stall at Taylor Square from 9am-1pm on Saturday 25 February to pimp up their bikes with our re-purposed, re-cycled crazy craft.

Guaranteed to make your ride more colourful or your money back.   No wait, it's free!

These monthly events in partnership with Sydney Sustainable Markets are part of our Green Chic Project and we have big plans.

Want to weave your own bike basket or make a bamboo crate to get your veggies home in?
Fancy checking out some cargo bikes and seeing just how much shopping and kids they can hold?
How about racing one - are you game?
The Slow Bicycle Movement - how slow can you go?
Finally want to learn how to fix up that old Schwinn you have in the garage?
Maybe you just want to show off your handsome bike in our pop-up instant photo-booth - we have props :-)

Surely one of the loveliest, friendliest local markets in Sydney we're very happy to have found a home so please stop by, have a coffee and say hello, we'd love to meet you.

Event details will be posted on the facebook page or email us to be added to the mailing list.

Happiness Is a Repurposed Bike Crate

So we're very excited to be doing a workshop as part of the brilliant Happy Talk project during Art and About Sydney.
Our brief - resourceful, environmentally aware cycle chic bike accessories with a Pacific twist.  Easy.

I've been wanting to make bike crates for a while so we expanded on that by coming up with designs that are entirely sustainable.  Other than the cable ties everything has been sourced from repurposed, recycled and recovered materials -  hell even the transport was sustainable thanks to the cargo bike and the power tools were charged using 100% green energy.

My new white bike was recovered and given a new lease of life too and I am completely in love so expect a Cycle Chic Bike Restoration Workshop soon.

If you'd like some floral wheels to brighten up your day or have a hankering for a cute bamboo bike crate decorated with shells and flowers to stash your bikini in this Summer, we hope you and your bike can make it to the workshop tomorrow!

I have power tools too - don't mess with a woman and her jigsaw...

Make sure you stop by the Happy House for some crafty Pacific happiness and check out their program of events happening all through October.  The Happy House alone is worth the visit.
