Po Campo’s Armitage Rack Satchel on the handlebars

armitage Po Campos Armitage Rack Satchel on the handlebars

Po Campo’s innovative Armitage Rack Satchel is a bag that we normally advise our customers to attach onto their bike’s back rack.

Until we saw this photo, we’d not considered the fact that it can also be attached to your front handlebars depending on the width and height of the bars. The bag looks sleek and stylish on this ladies step-through. 

We like the outfit too – short mini dress, loopy scarf, sleep jacket and ribbed wool tights with awesome red cowboy boots!

We went on a little ride for Mother’s Day with our Taga pram bike, Lekker Double Dutch bike, Dahon fold up, toting a Basil wicker basket and Kitsch Kitchen panniers    and sporting Nutcase helmets, a Wet and Wendy Smartcoat and a Cream RayncapeDSC08997 540x496 Mothers Day Ride

We’re particularly chuffed that our friend Jenny rode a bike for the first time since her childhood days on this ride. She said that she had so much fun that she couldn’t resist taking a couple of extra turns on her way home. Happy cycling Jenny!

Practical and eye-catching coat for cycling

Bicycle Life Cycle Chic 4 Practical and eye catching coat for cycling

We really like the mustard coloured jacket worn by this chic cyclist. The cosy colour keeps the wind out and the trenchcoat style provides easy movement for the up-down pedalling motion. Team it with a slouchy bag, casual top knot, opaque tights and flats and you’re ready for work, school or the bar.

Love this transeasonal cycle chic outfit snapped by the Seine – a 3/4 length sleeve dress in an unexpectedly rugged fabric, elegant and practical leather gloves and a neat cross-body pouch by Louis Vuitton. Tres tres chic!

Pippa designs the menu weekly, prepares the food and delivers the orders on her vintage bike, her wicker baskets laden with containers offering a vegetarian sandwich or a salad option.

We’re tried black bean burgers with avocado and mango salsa and coconut rice salad with lychee, cashews, mint and coriander and love the creativity and convenience of Hello Aubergine. Plus of course we love that Pippa runs her business by bike looking very cycle chic!

Hitching

So this lady isn’t hitching a ride on the bus because she’s got her bike with her. Though she is hitching up her skirt. Haw haw.

Primary colours

This lady rocks primary colours with her bike and her outfit – red, yellow, blue. What’s even cooler is that we’ve spotted her red Kronan bike parked in our neighbourhood before! Now we know the owner is equally stylish.

Stylish Cyclists Bring Back the Bike Budget

Friday, June 22nd, 2012

Despite the pouring rain hundred of Melbourne cyclists gathered on the steps of the Victorian Parliament yesterday to rally the government to bring back the bike budget. 

We snapped a couple of riders looking particularly cycle chic in the rain. Looking good Kristy, Erica and Owen!

Mr CycleStyle – Collins Street Melbourne

P1100219 Mr CycleStyle   Collins Street Melbourne

We couldn’t have dressed him better if we’d recruited him as a CycleStyle model. 

We spotted Ant rocking some serious cycle chic as he cruised down Collins Street on his black Papillionaire Classic bike.

P1100221 605x925 Mr CycleStyle   Collins Street Melbourne

He’s wearing lots of gear that’s available from CycleStyle – the Tie Dye Peace Nutcase Helmet, the Banjo Brothers Medium Commuter Waterproof Backpack and in turns out the Wet and Wendy black mens raincoat that he bought from us!

We also like his cuffed trousers and canvas lace-ups for casual yet practical biking style.

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.

Sightseeing

Friday, May 11th, 2012

The great things about cycling with your kids is that you get to chat about all the things you see along the way.

And look! This stylish mum is wearing a Nutcase Modern Dots helmet.
