Squad Goals: Cycle Squad.

A group of friends cycling together on a chill afternoon. Tribe mentality, happy traveling.

A family cycling together on that same chill afternoon. Tribe mentality, safe traveling.

We all search for a good company, life is better spent that way. Life is also better spent in a city where you can ride along with your favorite company and spend a good time moving from point A to point B. Mobility and a good company should go hand in hand. Mobility and a good time should also go hand in hand.

Happy cycling!

About the Cool Guys

The colour black persists. It is the essence of the men in Copenhagen. At least that's how it feels when you are trying to capture the ordinary Copenhagener. Why do so many Danes wear black? As simple as it is - it keeps you warm! Especially in winter, when sunlight is sparse and temperatures dip. Black absorbs heat, and so wearing more black is a practical method of thermal isolation.

You can feel the desire to maintain an understated image within Copenhageners, which essentially appears to be the accepted norm, people living in Copenhagen play it safe (together with the infrastructure that is made out of the best practice paying attention to its user) by donning neutral-colored apparel within the city that gives understated feeling in minimalist architecture and interior, hardly any huge advertisements... However, individuals can still stand out through details when you know where to look, like the trimmings of a coat, the silhouette of sneakers, or a flash of a piercing.

Cold Ready

Racing bicycle is her everyday transportation. Impressive hat keeps her head warm and it is a statement - "Winter Ready". Leather gloves helps to keep her hands in place - on the brakes. She is one of those fast cyclists. Waking up late, getting ready in a second... Her goal is to spend the least possible time on the way. You can see focus in her face. Nothing will disturb her. Not even us taking a photo of her. She is ready for the next ride. We hope to meet her again.

Happy cycling!

Puffy Jacekts

The weather is changing all the time, so puffy jackets are the best choice. Keeps you warm, easy to move (we mean cycle) and they look good.

This lady... All bronze. Her bike, her jacket, even her skin tone. We like it. It is not by mistake, she is chic and unique.

Or add a stand out colour. We are aware that Copenhageners like to wear black, but it is so nice from time to time refresh yourself with some nice colour. Good job!

The safe way. It is longer - to keep yourself warmer, black - because it always works, opened neck - because it not so cold, yet. With the beige boots and gloves in dark red this is a really nice combination.

Keep yourself warm.
Happy Cycling!

Blue Mystery

In this city, "street style" cannot mean the same as it does in other cities around the world. Street style in Copenhagen includes a bicycle, no matter what. That is what makes our job in Cycle Chic really exciting. Any and every style and personality is embraced riding a bicycle. Bicycles are a major asset in the overall composition of your everyday style.

This Copenhagen street moment captured through our lens is about a mysterious man in blue. He must have decided to have elegance and simplicity as priorities in his composition. He matched his bicycle with his scarf and the rest was left for black to take over. Black beanie, black, puffy jacket, black gloves... Two accents in his composition made him stand out from the classic Copenhagen Black. He rode past us on his triangle, vintage bicycle and smiled.

Happy cycling!

The All Blacks, Part II

It is hard not to notice that in Copenhagen black is always top pick when it comes to the clothes. Obviously, we had to write about this... Here are 4 photos from our recent photo mission where we spotted black in all its glory!

While waiting for the green light.
This girls brings lot of black tones into her outfit. Looking cool and edgy. Her bike is the brightest accessory in her over all look, and still it is light grey... Not so far from our favorite - black!

All black, everything.
Even headphones, for sure her bicycle and baskets. Real Copenhagener - chic, comfy and all black.

You need to add little something from time to time.
This lady all black and light grey mittens with red pattern.

In motion.
All black with little bit of white and olive green.

Our lovely Copenhagen ladies. Black suits them so well, right?

The Market Experience on a Bicycle

In Copenhagen, going to the market is easier and more fun than anywhere else in the world simply because you can do it on your bicycle.

Park right in front of where you want to go because urban cycling includes a couple easy stops along the ride. Show up wearing sweatpants, white trainers, and a purple, blanket scarf because you might stop at the next shop on the way...

Arrive making a scene.
Don't hide yourself or your stuff in the back of a pickup truck... Lock your vehicle and grab your black, leather tote from the frontal display of you bicycle we like to call a basket.

Exit quickly, though.
Place all items in your available compartment , in this case, a portable, fiber basket would do just fine, and continue your journey with your bicycle. Or I should say your -never ending- journey with your bicycle...

Happy Cycling!

Last Impression Given on a Bicycle

As she put herself together, getting ready to cruise off on her bicycle, she felt the urge to give away a subtle goodbye.

Her bicycle became an extension of her legs, while the rest of her held tight to the moment.

Seconds before her exit, she knew with her bicycle she couldn't be shy.

Her last impression was made and could not be stolen.

Happy Cycling!

Enjoy the Black Friday and Happy Cycling!

Confidence on a Bike

It is a mix of heels, baret, mini skirt, leather jacket and the fact, that it is all black. This lady, just cruising through streets of Copenhagen, from one side of the street to another.
