Father’s Day Countdown – Day 1
Monday, August 27th, 2012H&M knows Cycle Chic
Monday, April 4th, 2011Swedish high street label H&M has jumped on their bikes in their Amsterdam flagship store with their interpretation of cycle chic.
We think they’ve done a great job – breezy swing coats and capes for ventilation, layered tops, short skirts or shorts that won’t catch on your wheel or chain, colourful tights to keep your legs warm and a mid-height heel for elegance.
This is Amsterdam…and this is my bike

Bringing some Dutch style to Melbourne
Monday, January 10th, 2011
Marre first caught our eye thanks to the high-high-high heels she was wearing. Then *gasp* that beautiful figure-hugging dress. And finally, her stylishly decorated bike.
We were not at all surprised when we discovered that Marre is originally from Amsterdam and has been living in Melbourne for the past two years. She explained that back in Holland, everyone decorated their bikes and of course everyone wears their (stylish) everyday clothes on their rides. Thanks Marre for bringing some Dutch style to Melbourne!
Meet Trent Jansen in Europe
Friday, October 22nd, 2010
One of CycleStyle’s local suppliers, Trent Jansen, is currently jaunting around Europe as part of a two month residency with Italian design company Edra.
He’s written a travel diary in a week of guest blogs over at The Design Files. We are molto jealous – bright blue skies, sailing on yachts, eating prosciutto and cycling the Italian countryside – what a dream.
Why not get to know Trent a bit better by checking out his guests posts:
- All about Edra;
- Life in Pontedera – yummy food pics;
- London Design Festival – Boris bikes get a mention;
- Fabulous Florence – cycling in the countryside; and
- A Family Affair in Amsterdam – more bike love!
A different kind of rush hour
Monday, June 14th, 2010We can only dream…
Rush hour in Utrecht, Amsterdam. And look! Everyone riding around in their normal, every day clothes.
Fast Rider comes to Australia
Monday, April 19th, 2010
Fast Rider is one of the inspirations for me starting up CycleStyle.
When I was in Amsterdam I spotted a pony-tailed girl on a bike with a stylish shopper bag that I really liked – but when I got back to Australia I was really surprised to find that no one in Australia stocked Fast Rider products.
Hailing from the spiritual home of urban cyclists, the Dutch company make excellent quality panniers and bags (as well as clothing and other accessories) and they’re stylish to boot.
I’m happy to report that the first shipment of Fast Rider products has arrived and Christmas has come early CycleStyle HQ. Our stockroom is full of panniers and shopper bags (including the original one I spotted in Amsterdam, yay!), from luxurious to retro-styled, and I can’t wait to see them let loose on Australian bikes.
CycleStyle will be stocking a selected range of Fast Rider products exclusively in Australia. If at any time you spot another Fast Rider product that you’d like, send an email to info@cyclestyle.com.au and we’ll help you out.
