Retro ride…
Wearing a Duffer of St George ‘track suit’ (we feel SO out of date even saying the words ‘track suit’!), this guy’s contributing a well needed flash of blue on the grey and rainy streets, with his purple cruiser bicycle, white Nike trainers and a bright blue clothes. And just look at that chrome!
Rain rain go away, come again another day…
It’s getting more and more difficult to ‘keep up the chic’ with the weeks and weeks of rain we’re getting in the UK at the moment. Will someone please send us the sun, or we’ll all be riding like this soon!
Laura
Laura’s reaction to meeting Cycle Chic was “This isn’t chic, why don’t you come back in the summer when I’m wearing a dress!”. Laura’s right, and it’s difficult to expect cyclists not to don full waterproofs under Cardiff’s heavy skies. But even wet weather gear can show a little personality.

After some speedy pedalling, Cycle … Read more

In the other two photographs taken of Belle, you can actually … Read more
All the colours
Okay, so with all the heavy rain we’ve had lately it’s become very apparent that the ‘not-so-chic’ waterproof clothing wearers seem to be exhibiting an unusually wide range of colours. Take Mr. Yellow from a few days ago. Now here’s Madam Orange. The streets of Cardiff are starting to look like an unofficial Japanese Keiren … Read more
Mr. Yellow
Sometimes you just see someone cycling that catches your eye. Spotting chic is our mission, but we couldn’t miss this bright image on the way to the Bay.
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.
