Cardiff Cycle Chic is moving…Back to normal next week!
Hi all. Yes we’re moving location in Cardiff and to celebrate our move we thought we would feature the wacky world of cycle caravanning. Yes, it’s possible, although we think fairly unpractical in mountainous Wales. See you back ‘blogging’ next week. Wish us luck!

Cycle chic + cargo
Here at Cycle Chic we’ve been bowled over by the cargo carrying racks from Cetma. Cetma’s based in Oregon and is a hand-made, one man manufacturing outfit of racks and transport bikes. But it’s the racks that Cycle Chic knows well and have been using over the last few years to carry everything from children … Read more
Easy…
Easy, yes that’s his name, was conspicuous by his striking white glasses and slicked back hair. With a great smile and relaxed pose, it’s clear that Easy’s confident riding the city street. Happy days!

Based on the idea that cyclists inhabit different parts of the city, like little separate habitats, this film charts a single journey of a bicycle courier from the Bay northwards, as he crosses through some of … Read more

There’s some amazing images, but it’s the images of photographer George Marshall that really … Read more

What a showman! Ricky’s got an amazing vintage, sartorial style and with the confidence to carry it off. He’s not part of some tweed ride or event – this was his regular clothes for the day. Striking so many poses for the camera, we just couldn’t choose one image, so today there’s three of the … Read more

Cardiff’s World Naked Bike Ride this afternoon was bathed in warm sunshine. Everyone was SO thankful and the event had a really joyful and relaxed vibe – more than you might expect from a load of people taking their clothes off in public. Cardiff Cycle Chic made their way down to the verdant start point … Read more
Clare and her vintage bicycle
Clare, wearing summer casual clothes that are perfect for an evening bicycle ride in the warm summer weather (when we had some!), was actually initially conspicuous by her shining front light. “The lights not normally on in the day!” she adds. Clare’s Raleigh bicycle is a wonderful vintage vehicle with dynamo lighting system and, yes, … Read more
