The Art of Riding
The first thing you notice when you start getting about by bike is just how much of the world you miss when you travel by car.
Firstly you’re traveling too fast, or not at all in a traffic jam, but most of all you’re always traveling the same old route day in day out.
On a bike the world expands: you can hear the birds sing in the morning, or smell the scent of jasmin at midnight.
You can take bike paths, back alleys, main drags or side streets, and along the way view the ever-changing canvas of street art,
St Kilda Kids!
The Bike In My Life is pleased to announce that a new photographer has joined the Street Team!
Jac Price “specialises in documenting environments and happenings as they unfold, as a means of capturing and sharing the commonalities and unity of the human race”, which is just the kind of inspiring stuff we love at The Bike In My Life.
In 2010 Jac received a Special Mention in the Essence of St Kilda Photo Prize, so this week TBIML presents Jac Price and her snaps of some St Kilda bicycle street style.

Ride On My Parade
It never ceases to amuse me how a trip to the countryside always makes us city slickers sigh with nostalgia and regret when we leave, and yet we keep returning to our urban abodes.
Is it a sense of a loss of freedom, despite having the ability to traverse the city for as far, and as long, as we like?
Or is it just that clean country air brings clarity to our smog-infused thoughts and we become lucid and alive again?
It shall probably remain one of life’s mysteries as to why more city dwellers don’t throw in the office-block towel and head for the hills.
Casual Fridays
There is no other fashion item that symbolises casual chic more than a pair of denim jeans.
Yet the trusty jean has long been criticised when it come to its performance as cycling couture.
Some claim jeans are a little too stiff, others think they rub in all the wrong places, or they don’t have good knee sliding capabilities, but really this is just malicious gossip.
You would only ever notice these slight fabric irregularities if you ride your bike like a roadie training for the Tour de France.
Those of us who take our cycling a little less seriously,

Retro chic at its best. Even the bike is well dressed.
Red shoes are always a winner, but these have to be the cutest we’ve seen.
So 80’s but so ace. “Its distinctive design, bright orange colour, ubiquitous ownership in the 1980s, and fast disappearance in the 1990s, have combined to make “The Stackhat” a defining symbol of the 1980s for Australians”. – Thanks Wikipedia
This rider’s fashion sense is so simple,
