Nina certainly turned a few heads when she cycled from Thornbury to the Melbourne CBD with her bike garlanded with flowers. Cycle chic indeed!
She has four different bells and hooters on her handlebars as “people are more likely to get out of the way if they think there’s four bikes coming instead of just one bike!”
Nina completes her eye-catching ensemble with a suede horse-riding helmet. Not technically Australian standard compliant but very stylish.
Frocks on Bikes braved the rain, wind and intermittent sun to ride from coffee shop to cafe in honour of worldwide bike movement Cyclofemme (and Mother’s Day).
Given the wet conditions, we were most obsessed with people’s footwear, hence all the bel0w-the-knee photos. And of course we loved all the bright and cheery frocks!
A fortifying chai for the cold.
The great things about cycling with your kids is that you get to chat about all the things you see along the way.

Stephanie cycles with her Gazelle Cabby to do her weekly shop at the CERES organic market, bringing her daughter along for the ride. A happy and healthy family!
