One Girl, One Bicycle & a Sunny Morning

 

Here she comes, gradually and gracefully moving forward. As always, she wakes up every morning, puts on the what she feels good in and decides to ride. 

She rides knowing where she is going, but her destination is not in mind. Her mind is on the ride and everything that comes with it. 

The ease from the morning light and severe breeze bring out the best in her, as you can see. 

     

   

Pink coat, black leather gloves, soft lipstick & loose hair on a dutch style bike with a weave basket. Her intentions are a mystery, but her determination for a mission is obvious. 

She moves freely through the urban fabric because it clearly belongs to her. On a December morning, she gave everyone on her path the gift of simple grace on a bicycle. 

Carry it with You, People!

Regarding to our previous blog post, here is a sequel with people carrying stuff. More casual, more understandable.
For example, this lady above. Fitting her bag perfectly into her black basket. We all know how important and handy it is to have a every day bag that fits your basket!!!

Young generation, always ready for exciting adventures that their day might bring...
Her basket might not fit perfectly to her pink dotted bag, but it doesn't steal away attention from the sleekness of her bike. Moreover, she puts on backpack and crossover bag and still look flawless while rolling through the streets of Copenhagen. Red lips, blushed cheeks - look that kills!!!!

Can you feel how the modern, urban transportation blends together in this picture? And still bicycle is the best choice for getting from A to B in our cities, because you can feel the human scale, you can feel the connectivity from person to person. Look at this guy. Music, your city, active lifestyle, backpack and box on the front rack. Everything is under control here!

This lady is definitely used to carrying a lot of stuff with here... Why? Because she is already secured herself with two baskets just in case shopping went little bit out of control!

Kid in school, time for party...
Heading into the city with flowers and bag in the basket. Want to create a cozy look for your bike and still carry everything with you like she does? Braided basket is your choice.

Happy Cycling!

Everything is in the Details

Super sporty bicycle. As well as the shoes. But his outfit... Pay attention to the mittens, with grandma pattern, 90's beanie and 90's style glasses... Moreover, long, camel colour coat, that keeps this all together. His style is mixed, but at the same time it is perfect as it is. You will definitely notice this guy on the streets. One more detail though... He has two water bottles on his bike, so really, he is a sporty guy in the coat!

We all are aware that velvet is so chic this season. And this women keeps it chic with her black velvet jacket, that has something special - the pattern on the bottom of the jacket and in the end of the sleeves. As well as navy boots and pants. All dark, with a bright coloured bicycle. What more!

Friendship detail is the most important in this picture! However, there is always something more than that. Socks and the way how the girl on the right is wearing her bags... The classy camel coat, black, soft pants with sneakers and top it all with burgundy beanie on the left. So Copenhagener!!!!

I think you understand... The pants!!! You can't just put on pants and think that it will work just the same... Everything is in the details, as said in the caption. Pants with white sneakers and white head band - this is how it works and she knows it!

Lets face it... Her best detail is the sun flare in the photo!!! And with the red coat, black leather backpack, super cozy neck warmer and beanie... Everything in this photo works so well... She deserves every single flare in this photo.

And this woman. Is she a office woman or a bad ass hiker... Can't tell from het outfit, because she is everything. She is not afraid to mix it when heading into morning rush hour to get to work. She could have changed her backpack to something more casual, but would we notice her then?! 

Happy Cycling !!!!

Cycling into the Sunset

      

There is something really special about the silhouette a person and a bicycle create together. Lighting and dedicated space helps the symbiosis as well... 

Happy Cycling!

Saturday - "Ride with Your Buddy" Day

Because Sharing is Caring!

Weekend is the best time for enjoying the rides with friends and family. Share a bike ride, share a memory, share an experience. 

Have a great weekend and happy Cycling!

The Simple Things in Life

"Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride" / John F. Kennedy

And it is true. Either you are going to work, school, party or some other destination, bike is the best choice for the transportation. It will give a little work out feeling to your body, it will make you smile, it will lead you in meeting new people while waiting for the green light, it will let you feel your city and more... Put that sunnies on and get on a road!!!

Happy Cycling!

Bringing In the Colours

It is obvious - when the nature brings colours to our life, we tend to keep it that way or even enhance that by doing it ourselfs. Red coats, scarfs, gloves or head wear. Red tones are the ultimate fall colour.  

Happy Cycling!

Golden Hour on the Bridge

As the mornings in Copenhagen starts to become darker, colder and windier, Cycle Chic takes you back to those early autumn mornings in Paris. Where, with the help of the sun, we made these magical, urban cycling moments. Enjoy! 

Vélib' Chic

 

Jean jacket, Adidas & red lip stick

Autumn color palette outfit, iphone in hand and the half side stare.

Leather, tights and acceleration concentration.

Full basket, booties and denim.

Red ties, black socks and brief case.

Nice beard, plaid and morning tunes.

Nice beard, colorful shoes and lenses.

Navy v-neck, burgundy pants and green bag on cobblestones.

In Paris, plenty of the locals choose the bike share system, Vélib'. While many times these bike share systems are seen as "touristy" and not- chic, Parisians have a way of owning the urban look in these public bikes.

Sunday Priorities in Copenhagen

This modern man prioritizes diapers and coffee, nice.

She prioritizes furniture journeys and friendliness.

Quick grocery stops

Happy cruising and music are important priorities too.

Sundays like this in Copenhagen are about priorities on the bicycle. It's not easy waking up after a long week to cold, autumn mornings in Scandinavia, but being able to ride your bicycle in style to all your Sunday necessities is an advantage.  The following are bits you can only witness in this amazing Nordic city.
