1980′s retro-style
Jemma’s from Bristol, but is currently based in Cardiff. Despite the rain she is still showing her 1980s style in good measure. With black french beret, detailed belt, and super cut 1980 jacket, she’s doing the retro look – and still riding.

Cycle Chic was lucky enough yesterday to meet Anna. She’s really into textiles and dress making and rides a Pashley Governor – the epitome of all that is Cycle Chic.
