Next time you go riding on your bike, why not record these journeys with the Bicycle Travel Journal designed by Roger Fawcett-Tang of Struktur Design?
Nigel Peake’s beautiful drawings map out ideas and guide riders through new landscapes, both real and imaginary. The journal comes with 20 illustrations, blank pages to write on and 4 envelopes to store mementoes of your journeys.
We’ve seen lots of photos of bikes used as part of room decoration – but this is the first time we’ve seen a bike adorning a bathroom!
Rachel Pfeffer makes and sells bicycle necklaces from her Etsy shop and turned this one into a unique wearable Valentine’s Day card.
We are big fans of Melbourne-based bike rental company The Humble Vintage and the limited edition hand-drawn maps coming out of it called Melbourne for Visitors and Casual Cyclists.
Now author and entrepreneur Matt Hurst has written The Casual Cyclist’s Guide Melbourne, a book bringing a fresh perspective to cycle routes in Melbourne interspersed with articles on cycling tips, tricks and thoughts as varied as Taking the Scenic Route and Five Surprising Situations When it’s Better to Take the Bike.
The guide brings together contributions from a range of Melbourne architects, historians, chefs, designers and local identities, including chef Guy Grossi and milliner Richard Nylon.
With hand drawn maps by Matt, design by Studio Pip & Co and illustrations from graphic design duo Tin & Ed, it’s a uniquely Melbourne collaboration. The book is a delightful read and it’s an essential item for the ambling Melbourne cyclist.

It’s Melbourne Cup day and our thoughts turn to champagne and picnics.
Which is why we’re completely in love with this Cutie Coolbox from Beg Bicycles in England. The cool box fits into your bicycle basket to keep your sandwiches and drinks chilled and fresh. Plus the tan leather and cross stitch details is just so stylish.
