Bicycles with a Turquoise Hue

For at least 2,000 years, the region once known as Persia remained an important source of turquoise which was named by Iranians initially “pirouzeh” meaning “victory” and later after Arab invasion “firouzeh”. In Iranian architecture, the turquoise was used to cover the domes of the Iranian palaces, and because of its intense blue colour it was a symbol of heaven on earth.

 

An apt colour for a bicycle then, we think.

 

Riding sky high.

Wheeling one way and walking the other.

Getting Chic on Chapel

After a surprising and very disappointing lack of Cycle Chic on Melbourne’s fashion strip, Chapel Street, pro-photographer in residence, Jac Price, found that only a few weeks later the citizens of Windsor were making a Cycle Chic come back. Phew! Our faith in the south side is restored.

 

Too cool for skool, never too cool for riding bicycles.

Cycle Cops

Melbourne Cycle Chic would like to thank the Victoria Police Bicycle Squad for looking suitably sexy in their very smart uniforms, smart enough to make the cut on Melbourne Cycle Chic. We caught the VPBS at Ride to Work day.

 

These guys have all the gadgets. Their bikes are like a 007 BMW.

The red bike is a nice touch with the navy blue and lumi yellow.

There is something about men in uniforms that is just so…chic.

Comfortably Chic

Melbourne Cycle Chic photographer in residence, Jac Price, went on a photo tour in one of Melbourne’s trendiest locations, Chapel Street. In her own words this is what she found – “I like the way that practical and comfortable has carved it’s way into fashion, and in this case right down the center of Melbourne’s fashion suburb!

 

Simple, but sassy.

Nothing chic here, but we like his look anyway.

One happy bicycle babe!

A Touch of Racing Red

Red is for racing, romance and radical, all of which apply to bicycling.

A touch of red goes a long way.

Hard and fast?

Indeed, it seems that red bicycle is only hard, not fast

Heels on Wheels

At Melbourne Cycle Chic we say you can bicycle in anything. These bicycle riding sisters have proved us right, again!

 

Wedge boots make for the perfect bicycle heel: solid support that looks seriously sassy.

Boots with a subtle heel just make this outfit.

“I quite like being on the Canning Street bike path, especially when all the Lycra-clad office workers ride past. When summer comes they all spin past you and there’s all this bravado, and I think where have they been all winter when it’s cold.” – Neisha.
