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!
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.

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.

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.
The Last Rays of Sun

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.
A Mix of Melbourne’s Best Bicycle Photos
We’ve put together a ‘best of’ bicycle photos from the streets from Melbourne for 2010. Enjoy! We certaily has fun caturing Melbourne’s bicycle babe and boys this year!
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,
It’s a Guy Thing
Melbourne men like their bikes a little kookie. These are some of the best we’ve seen. Bicycle photos taken by our team of bicycle-boy loving photographers.

Pillars of calm in an urban jungle
On a bicycle you not only look calm in the urban jungle, you feel peaceful, present and of course stylish. Keep your cool and get about by bicycle.
