Experience The Freedom and Fashion Of A Bicycle For Christmas
You know it’s the silly season when a man bicycles past wearing a suit and a very large paier-mache possum hat.
That’s one of the best things about bikes: you actually get to sport –to wear, display, carry, especially with ostentation, show off – your finest outfits.
Travel by car and only the front office staff notice your new shoes. Travel by bike and the whole world gets to share in the fun of your sartorial splendor, be that a possum hat or a pair of Jimmy Choo’s.
Frankly, what is fashion for other than to flaunt,
Why Cities Need Trees
I’m embarrassed to say that before I was a bicycle-riding babe, I was a car-driving ditz. But there are good sides to everything and having been both means I can speak with authority when it comes to which is better.
Today on my way home from work it occurred to me just how magical it is to step out of one’s office and on to a bicycle, and for the period of your ride home do nothing but enjoy the weather.

The Best Ride in Town
A Spanish girlfriend told me over lunch that the best thing that has happened to her in Melbourne was her bicycle. “I love it” she beamed, “it’s a better ride than the men!”
Wow! That either says a lot about the bicycles here, or sadly not much about the men.
I’m going for it saying a lot about the bicycles, because frankly Melbourne’s bicycling men are some of the world’s best: they ride all weather, wear check and most importantly know how to dink.
However, no matter the quality of Melbourne’s bicycle men,
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!
