Scarosso Cycle Chic

We're loving the new photo shoot from the always cool Italian shoe brand Scarosso, shot in Berlin. With bicycles, of course.

Cycle Chic Postcard Berlin

There is a wonderful variety of Cycle Chic motives to explore in Berlin where cycle infrastructure has improved dramatically in recent years. Here a stunt for two.

Signal coloured bike for signal coloured tights - or vice versa.



Elegant match of natural colours.



The pictures are from last month and it was still chilly



Relaxing at the Spree.


Happy Cycling!

Berlin Bicycle Deep Freeze

I was speaking in Berlin last week but I had some moments to spare to document the bicycle users of Berlin getting on with it on a bitterly cold Friday morning.

Winter Bundle Chic outside the Zara shop on Kurfürstendamm.

Morning traffic.

Stop and chat.

Wait for it.

Red Light Rolling.

Morning Motion.

Stop and Go.

Winter Wonderland.

Berlin...

Ah, Berlin.

Those boots were made for stopping...

Fantastic cape.

Against the Clock

Waiting to turn left.

Checking the time on the clock on the tower nearby.

Couple, Friends, Family - in Berlin

A little trio of the social side of urban cycling and Cycle Chic.

Rosenthaler Strasse, Berlin

A few evening cyclists on Rosenthaler Strasse in Mitte.

Berlin By Night... Almost

Standing by Brandenburger Tor, a girl studies a map, deciding which way to go.

Whilst another Berliner on a bicycle rides through the historic arch.

Elsewhere, a spot of cornering.

And a couple enjoying a conversation on Ku'damm.

Berlin Bicycle Blur

I'm a sucker for blurry, nighttime shots of Citizen Cyclists doin' their Cycle Chic thang.





Yeah, okay. There's a limit. But hey... I love it that you can still recognise that it's a bicycle. That's how iconic the design of a bicycle is.

Early evening in Mitte.

Ditto.

Late night in Mitte.

Berlin Cycle Chic

I was in Berlin over the weekend, giving a keynote talk at VeloBerlin's Metromobile urban mobility conference. I love Berlin. I've been visiting the city for years and it's always a pleasure to show up there again. It was a great conference and it was even more great to ride around the city on Thursday evening - and paint the town red on Friday...

These three shots are from Mitte. Berlin is a fantastic cycling city. They have a modal share of 13% and in some neighbourhoods, like Mitte, it's up around 20%. The bicycle is normal. The style is impeccable. Das ist Berlin.

Two of three girlfriends heading out on the town on rental bicycles.

Lovely smile in the early evening.

We're doing more Berlin this week here on Cycle Chic.
