Brilliant shot from Copenhagen by Hanjosan from the Flickr group.

Global Cycle Chic Roundup

A little round up of some cool shots from the esteemed pool of Cycle Chic shots in our Flickr group. Let's start with Ayutthaya, Thailand.


Venice Beach, California & Bandung, Indonesia


Yorkshire & California


Ibiza & Amsterdam

Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen.

Aerial Slush and Snow Chic

Red gloves add a graphic touch.

Sitting upright, like his mother taught him, even in the snow and a headwind approaching 10 metres per second.

Bundled.

Quintessential Copenhagen

Doesn't get much more Copenhagen than this.

Smoke 'n Ride

We all know smoking is cool and always will be.








But seriously, at least these people aren't driving cars. So remember also to chastize motorists, as the hydrocarbons they eject into your personal space and your urban landscape are far more dangerous to the public health. Ten times more dangerous than traffic accidents, actually. And cyclists can breathe easy, since cycling alongside traffic is better than breathing fumes inside cars.

Nothing Personal

Copenhagener A: Nothing personal. I'm not ignoring you. I just don't know you and, besides, I'm trying to cross the street.

Copenhagener B: Whatever.

I got asked once if cyclists wave at each other in Copenhagen, like they apparently do in other places. Ever tried to wave at ten thousand people on a morning commute to work? Nah. Me neither. :-)

In other non-related news, there's an interview about Cycle Chic on the hot trend website The Inside Source. Check it out before your other Facebooking Twitter friends stumble upon it and Dig it.

More Winter Funk

Just a follow-up on the previous post.

Winter Funk

If you can't funk it up in the winter, you can't funk it up.

Timeless Elegance

Australia Wedding Cycle Chic

From a snowy, sub-zero Copenhagen to a summery Australia. Thanks to Lucy from Sydney Vintage Bikes for some Australia Cycle Chic to warm us on these chilly days. Above and below you can see splendid engagement photography by Gemma Clarke.


Here are a couple more wedding shots from Down Under.

Absolutely brilliant stuff. Fantastic atmosphere.


And here's a lovely classic dog-in-basket shot.

Snowpenhagen Redux

We keep getting dumped on by snow here in Copenhagen. Another 10 cm fell today. Me? I love it. Actually, in Copenhagen 80% of the cycling citizens continue to ride throughout the winter. That's about 400,000 people. In the snow and adverse weather the number falls as people take to the buses and trains, but you're still looking at a couple hundred thousand people on bikes each day.

The bicycle lanes have the highest priority and get cleared of snow and salted before the roads. Allowing the ever-chic citizens to roll along gorgeously.

Vancouver Cycle Chic

Cycle Chic was featured in a blogpost by Douglas Todd, a columnist for The Vancouver Sun, in Canada. I figured I'd dig out my Cycle Chic [ish] photos from the city.





On this trip Wifealiciousness - our own Cycle Chic export - was 6 months pregnant with Lulu-Sophia. Cycling is virtually prescribed for pregnant women in Denmark so going for a ride was a must.

Same Spot Different Copenhageners

Coolest cat in the whole downtown. And silhouetted in a winter sub-zero sunset to boot.

Trois femmes.

Gangsta Cycle Chic

We spotted this groovy little bicycle necklace in a post down at the always cool An Affair With Fashion blog [available at The Hanging Space]

My boy Felix saw the photo of the necklace on screen and I asked him what he thought of it. He shrugged and replied with the current hip slang of boys his age, "It's not really gangsta, is it..."

Meaning that he didn't think it was cool. So I wondered what a real gangsta style bicycle necklace would look like. There was only one way to find out. Ask a real gangsta:
