peppermint 605x806 Giveaway! Kids Wicker Basket on Veggie Mama

One of our favourite magazines is Peppermint, a green fashion and lifestyle magazine celebrating eco and ethical style with a fun, fresh, intelligent and positive spin.

Imagine our delight when a recent issue featured a chic cyclist on the cover. Not just any cyclist, but a blooming, pregnant Stacey from the wonderful vegetarian/craft/general loveliness blog Veggie Mama

Over at Veggie Mama this week we are giving away a Kids Wicker Basket. 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 book or their ball.

Feel free to enter the competition but do make sure you sit down with a cup of tea and take some time to dip into the wonderful world of Veggie Mama.

 Hunter wellies on A Beautiful Mess

You may have noticed that when it comes to rainy days we love cycling around in our raincoat and Hunter wellies. 

Well, it seems Elsie from A Beautiful Mess feels the same! Her Hunters are a bright maroon and go well with her neutral Pixie Stix Nutcase Helmet as well!

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!

Zero-bike budget rally in Melbourne tomorrow!

Ballieu bust Zero bike budget rally in Melbourne tomorrow!

If you haven’t already marked it in your diary, please make the time to attend the Zero-bike budget rally in Melbourne tomorrow morning.

Bicycle Network Victoria has called out to all Victorian bike riders to jam the steps of Parliament to condemn the Baillieu Government’s decision to cut funding for bike infrastructure to $0.

Yes, you heard right. Absolutely nothing. Desperately needed lanes, signals, intersections and other urgent safety improvements have all been scrapped.

We need safe roads and bike paths for the growing number of cyclists in Victoria and the short-sighted decision is damaging to community health, congestion and public transport overload. 

Join us tomorrow morning to send the loudest and clearest possible message to the Baillieu Government that bike funding must be reinstated.

Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne is a world leader in cancer treatment, research and education.

To help raise funds for their important work this year they have launched the Ride to Conquer Cancer on 27-28 October. 

One of our fans Anna Jones is aiming to raise $10,000 for Peter Mac‘s lifesaving cancer research and to help her achieve her goal we have donated one of our lovely wicker baskets to her silent action.  There are lots of other interesting auction items from some of our favourite brands including Aesop, Anglepoise and Eames. Check out the auction here

The auction ends in a week at 3pm on Saturday 23 June. Once the auction has closed, winning bidders will donate their bid amount directly to Anna’s Ride to Conquer Cancer participant page – this means every cent will go directly to the cause.

Thank you in advance for your generosity! Your efforts will help fund groundbreaking research initiatives, vital clinical trials and innovative new treatments at Peter Mac.
