A classic combination toughened up by the leather (or are they vinyl?) shorts and the gladiator style heeled sandals.

Daisies and dots
Thursday, October 27th, 2011This sweet ingenue echos the daisies in her bike basket with the yellow dots of her shapely mini-dress. Gorgeous.
Joining the dots
Wednesday, October 26th, 2011We love how the bike’s colours and pattern have been echoed by this cyclist’s outfit – a sweet polkadot dress with Peter Pan collar and pink rimmed sunglasses.
You can ride in a long skirt
Tuesday, October 25th, 2011If your bike is set up with a chain guard and skirt guard, you too can ride in a long skirt like Alline Cury, fashion journalist during Paris Fashion Week.

Style inspiration – Audrey Hepburn on a bike
Monday, October 24th, 2011Audrey Hepburn was famous for making capri pants stylish (especially paired with cute ballet flats). She also rode a bike!
Now you can channel a bit of Audrey style with our new Cotton Capri Pants in black or grey. We have very limited stocks of each colour and size, so don’t miss out!
Updating vintage florals
Friday, October 21st, 2011Here’s a lesson on how to make vintage look fresh and new. This mini-dress has been updated with a pair of fresh white shorts and red wedges – and now it’s perfect for a bike ride on a classic Schwinn.
Double Denim
Thursday, October 20th, 2011Double denim should be a bad look, but this stylish cyclist rocks her outfit with her matching pale blue bike. And notice the laugh-out-loud burger bike bell!

Matching Spots?
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011Love the matching spots on this girl’s dress and her bike. Though if you look closely at the pattern of the dress the black spots are actually little scotty terrier dogs!

Kids Bike Basket Giveaway at Little Eco Footprints
Monday, October 17th, 2011
When doing research for CycleStyle we discovered that it’s very difficult to find nice wicker baskets suitable for kids bikes. All the baskets we seemed to see where nasty plastic and wire ones made from cheap materials and most of them were attached to the bike as well.
So we were very excited to discover the Kids Wicker Basket by Fast Rider in the Netherlands. The baskets are made from treated wicker by workers in Poland and are cute as a button. Plus they slip on and off the handlebars easily which means that when your little one arrives at their destination they can carry their own gear – whether it be their lunchbox, their doll or their ball.
Over at the wonderful parenting blog Little Eco Footprints there is a Kids Wicker Basket to giveaway this week. Tricia Hogbin writes all about her life with her family in Newcastle, with a particular focus on living closer to nature and leaving a little ecological footprint. Naturally that means the whole family rides bikes! Check our Tricia’s blog here.

Carradice have been one of our stockists since we first opened shop – we just love the fact that their durable and stylish bags are still handmade in Lancashire, Nelson.
Here’s a great article with a behind-the-scenes look at the Carradice factory, including the picture of Sue above – the maker of our Cotton Duck Bike Bureaus!
