June 2010 marked the beginning of our first winter of CycleStyle. Our favourite posts for that month: Use the iPhone App SizeMyBike to find the right bike for you. We test-ride the Melbourne Bike Share scheme. Guys' cycle chic fashion…
We can hardly believe that this time last year we were getting ready to open CycleStyle's (virtual) doors. That also means that we've been blogging 5 days a week for the last 52 weeks! What a fun-filled, cycle chic year…
Jess was cycling her way to the HMS Post Office to pick up some records she'd purchased from America. We simply couldn't resist her nautical-inspired outfit, including a $5 hat from an Army Disposal store that she tricked up with…
When you think Sydney you think the harbour, the Opera House and Bondi beach. Well, now you can also think of cycle chic, as these photos attest from our recent visit to the iconic beach on a picture perfect Sunday.…
Marre first caught our eye thanks to the high-high-high heels she was wearing. Then *gasp* that beautiful figure-hugging dress. And finally, her stylishly decorated bike. We were not at all surprised when we discovered that Marre is originally from Amsterdam…
I was riding behind this girl along St Kilda Road, admiring her summery outfit and her step-through Raleigh. At the traffic lights past Princes Bridge, I stopped her for a photo and asked her where she was going - turns…
It's a cliche cos it's true - Melburnians really do love dressing in head-to-toe black. In this case, Kate is not only dressed in stylish black, but the frame of her sturdy sit-up bike also matches her outfit. You'd expect…
Frocks on Bikes is the gathering point for stylish lady cyclists in New Zealand – they organise rides, events and shows for ‘sustainably-minded, funky women to celebrate biking beauty’. At the Northside Ladies Bicycle Calendar 2011 calendar launch I was…
Claudia Phares is a Montreal-raised and Melbourne-based photographer whose work is included in the Northside Ladies Bicycle Calendar 2011. I met her at the calendar launch party and loved her colourful and practical outfit – a cowl neck mini-dress from…
So I was at launch party for the Northside Ladies Bicycle Calendar 2011 at Edinburgh Gardens recently. Despite the threat of torrential rain, a group of stylish cycling ladies gathered by the rotunda for an exhibition of the works in…
I spotted Aileen cycling along Carlton Gardens and was immediately struck by the matching colours of her head-to-toe cycle chic, from her outfit to her bike. Before I could compliment her on her look and ask for a photo, the…
I'm best friends with Australia Post these days. I call this my Dutch Postie look because I pack all the CycleStyle orders into my roomy Kitsch Kitchen panniers then take them to the post office. I often, by coincidence, also…
Brrr Melbourne's temperamental weather has turned again. Back to wearing opaque tights and coats! City Library is a great place to meet and work in the CBD. There's bike racks outside, free wi-fi, study tables, lots of cafes and shops…
I always try to get out of the office for some fresh air in my lunch hour. Often I will grab a sandwich or crepe from a cafe in Centre Place like Aix Creperie or Jungle Juice, then follow it…
I like to think that Melbourne is the style capital of Australia, and that means many of our cyclists are super-stylish too! On sunny days I'll set myself up on a street corner, pull out my digital SLR from my…
Next Wednesday 13 October is National Ride to Work Day, a great event with communities of cyclists from all around Australia enjoying a free breakfast and generally being part of the bike riding revolution. In the lead-up to Ride to Work Day,…

Sarah has only been commuting by bike for 6 months, so hats off to her for persevering through the winter weather. To keep herself cosy she’s dressed for work in a black swing jacket with checkerboard trim from Pussycat Black…
So it was early morning and I was hanging around Fitzroy waiting to spot some stylish cyclists. As I yawned, I spotted this lady in a red trenchcoat. Oh, that's a nice trenchcoat, I thought, in fact I wonder where…
