It has now been proven more than once that the bicycle is the fastest mode of transport in cities. I would say it’s more than that, it’s also the funest!
In pursuit of happiness.
Full speed ahead.
Whizzing by.
Spending the day in fast motion.
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.
Traffic stopping starting-out style.

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!

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.

Sally: keeping life level.
“We work so much and we live in such a fast time, on my bike I just level out.” – Sally.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 their time for good cause. The Bike In My Life thanks them.
