Pushing It
There is nothing elegant about the bicycle push off. It’s sheer push, grunt and grit. But the best things in life always are.

Melbourne Cycles Sydney
Melbourne Cycle Chic spent a day in Sydney to see what our sister city is producing in the way of Cycle Chic. We were surprised to find chic cyclers were thin on the ground that day, but here is our salute to all those we saw and all those we didn’t. Go Sydney’s Cycle Chicsters!

Bags and Baskets
Jac Price of the Melbourne Cycle Chic street team bagged some beauties this month and captured the Melbourne folk who like to bring it on a bike!
Basket, bag it or both it.

Is the size of that school bag legal?

Our bike-bag friends as Crumpler get a mention, and what a cute little number it is.

This is the way the ladies bring it!
The Fading Fashions of Spring
As spring comes to a close we see the last of those essential spring accessories: chilli-morning gloves, evening-breeze tights, and midday cloud-cover scarves. But who’s complaining when summer is on the horizon.
A light-wool coat will put a smile on your face on those crisp spring mornings.

Pink gloves to stop frozen red hand syndrome add a dash of colour to this subdued spring style.

Matching your gloves to your shoes makes for a cool colour combo.
A Blur of Bicycles
The Melbourne Cycle Chic street team works hard to bring you shots of Melbourne best look bicyclists, but sometimes catching our subjects in a moment of calm can be tricky. These are a selection of the best blurred bloopers.

Sign Of The Times
You know the bicycle has made it to the “memestream” when it’s used to funkify vintage boots, or gets you a discount at a trendy cafe.
Even a kids trike is cool enough to sell these boots
Getting lost on a bicycle is a great way to find hidden treasures like vintage markets and other hipster hang outs
These bicycles are from local manufacturer Allegro – so good they make plain Ts look hip
Using 100% human powered transport gets you a 25% discount on your petrol. Coles and Woolies have nothing on these guys.
