It’s a dog’s life…
One cold and sunny day in the Bay a few weeks ago, Cycle Chic met Marilyn, Scott and Brandy the dog. Sporting a couple of folding Bromptons, the trio were out for a spin around the parks, cycle routes and scenic parts of Cardiff. Dressed in outdoor wear that wouldn’t go amiss on the slopes … Read more
Paul Smith wins award
Yesterday, the British Fashion Awards took place in London, and one of cycling favourite supporters and enthusiasts was the recipient of the ‘Outstanding Achievement Award’ 2011. Paul Smith won the coveted title, an award that he adds to his growing collection, which puts him squarely in the position as one of the UK’s most successful … Read more
Belle
Cycle chic caught up with Belle on one of those days when a cup of tea in front of a fire would be a welcome alternative to riding in heavy rain, road awash with big puddles and coloured by the glazed reflection of streetlights. In the other two photographs taken of Belle, you can actually … Read more
Skate Chic is Cycle Chic
Vogue is currently running a festive winter feature on skate chic. Here at Cycle Chic we thought that this winter’s skating trend was great for cycling too. This season is about natural and subdued colours but with a strong emphasis on geometric patters, some traditional, some less so. Expect to see more Scandinavian styling over … Read more
Laura
Laura rides from Roath to the Bay each day dressed in the finest way. With a beautiful beret with cute bow, warm scarf, wonderfully cut tweed-like coat, warm knit gloves and gorgeous shoes, Laura is, like Catrin a few days ago, a marvelous example of someone that’s beautifully dressed but doesn’t feel it necessary to … Read more
Bicycle City
Lovely mediative short film by director Martin de Thurah. Cycle Chic loves the beauty captured in this film. We hope you enjoy it too. Best played full screen.
Catrin’s elegance
Catrin is the epitome of elegance on a bicycle. Shunning other forms of transport, Catrin’s found a perfect match in bicycle and fashion style. With wonderful double breasted long coat, deep plum coloured shoes and beautifully embroidered fingerless gloves, Catrin surely deserves a Cycle Chic five stars. Simply wonderful.
Track stand Jamie
Cycle Chic spotted Jamie largely due to his bicycle handling skills. Like many track bike (fixed wheel) riders, he spends a lot of time balancing a red traffic lights – unsurprisingly called a ‘track stand’. This pose is quite distinctive; wheel turned at an angle and small backward and forward movements made to maintain balance. … Read more
Joe
Joe has such a natural and warm personality. Cycle Chic caught up with her as she made her way to work early one evening, and she was all smiles at the idea of being photographed for the blog. Her style is also natural; a mix of warm autumn-coloured hair and clothes in browns, greys and … Read more
Edward the gent
Edward has a real country-gent look. He would have been a perfect and natural participant of last month’s Harris Hack. Sporting a tailored tweed jacket, country cheque shirt and woven tie, Edward wouldn’t look out of place in the more sartorial 1930′s and 40′s. With stout leather boots and an ex-post office, rod-braked bicycle, Edward … Read more
