Cycle Chic by Mikael Colville-Andersen

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012

It all started in Copenhagen.

In 2006, Mikael Colville-Andersen started taking photos of the stylish citizens of his hometown as they went about their daily business on their bikes. His images inspired readers from all around the world and his blog went viral. Copenhagen Cycle Chic has been voted ‘Top 100 Blogs Worldwide’ The Times and Mikael has been called ‘The Sartorialist on Two Wheels’ and ‘Ten Best Fashion Bloggers’ by The Guardian and

There are now cycle chic blogs all around the world, including Sydney Cycle Chic, Melbourne Cycle Chic and Canberra Cycle Chic on our doorstep. Mikael’s work has also inspired stores such as ours that celebrate cycling as a mode of transport.

The thousands of photos posted on Copenhagen Cycle Chic have now been curated and compiled into a lovely hardcover book entitled Cycle Chic. With chapters such as Sartorial Style, Bike as Fashion Accessory and Angels in Details, we hope you’ll be inspired by the book to cycle stylishly on your bike.

Help us give a Helping Hand

Saturday, May 26th, 2012

At CycleStyle we’re passionate about getting more people using bikes as a mode of transport.

We know that bikes make life better. And we want to share the ease, convenience and joys of bike-riding with everyone – male, female, young, old.

So we’ve entered the Suncorp Bank Helping Hand competition to have the opportunity to receive a $5000 small business grant by sharing our best business tip.

Fullscreen capture 26052012 120305 PM.bmp 605x418 Help us give a Helping Hand

While we think our business tip is pretty good (and the key to everything we do), more importantly what will we do with $5000? We will help 30 adults around Australia to learn to ride a bike for the first time or to refresh their bike skills.

Do you know someone who might benefit from our helping hand?

- Maybe you didn’t learn to ride a bike when you were young and now you feel you’re too old to learn.

- Maybe you’re a mum who hasn’t been a bike since you had kids. Now your kids are cycling but you don’t feel confident on a bike anymore – so you’re missing out on the fun.

- Maybe you’d like to take up bike commuting to save money and as an easy way to get fit, but feel unsure on the roads.

- Maybe you haven’t been on a bike since you were a kid but now all your friends are cycling and you’re the only one who doesn’t. And you don’t want to look silly wobbling around the streets. 

- Maybe you’re retired and haven’t been on a bike since your 20s but now you want to go on a biking holiday through Europe (like my Mum! ^Joyce).

If you support our grand plan, please vote for our entry in the Suncorp Bank Helping Hand and get your friends voting too. You can vote once a day up until 5pm Friday 1 June 2012. To find out more about Suncorp Bank Helping Hand click here.
