Global Chic – Cape Town, South Africa

On Melbourne Cycle Chic’s recent travels in South Africa, bicycles were sadly all but absent from the streets of the country’s two main cities, Cape Town and Johannesburg. There was some bike action to be found in the “informal township” Khayelitsha, just outside of Cape Town, and one Sunday afternoon a gang of skaters took to the main street of CT. Here’s what’s Cape Town had to offer.

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.

“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.

The photos in this Treadlie Street blog series were taken for the new urban cycling mag Treadlie. Some images get into the mag and some don’t.   We’ve loaded them all so you get to see all the people who generously got off their bicycles and gave up a their time to be interviewed for a good cause. The Bike In My Life thanks them.
