Fur Queen on a Cargo Bike


      

We've talked about the powerful aspects of a woman on a cargo bike. The reasons are endless. This woman, however, left us speechless. This woman rode her Christiania bike in a timeless manner. She could be dressed purposely 80s style or it could be an unintentional, retro embrace. She carried colors that blend in the urban landscape, but a face that sparks beyond what is happening around her, you can tell she's done this before. She rides pondering, as if not caring about the impression she leaves behind, and still it is an impecable one. An impecable impression with a sense of enigma. For this is what cycle chic strives for when hunting for content: unique simplicity carried when riding everyday from A-to-B.

Happy cycling, everyone!

Spend some time people watching in Copenhagen during the afternoon rush hour and this is what you get: Cool people commuting on a bicycle. As they drift away in the autumn sunset, the image creates a quick, urban story...

«You can all cycle, wear the clothes you want, even cycle in high hills. It's just a matter of practice. Don't forget to put a big basket in front of your bicycle to carry your handbag.»

Lilian - Portrait






































"I cycle everyday. So, I really need my bike and I love this one, especially the color."

"What do you like when you bike in winter?"
"I like to get some fresh air and to exercice."

"What would be your tips to cycle in winter? Do you wear specific clothes?"
"You should not dress to warmly, since you produce heat while you’re cycling. You really don’t need skiing clothes. You just need to wear a windproof outfit and of course a warm pair of gloves."

"What is your most unforgettable memory related to your bike?"
"The day before I gave birth to my son, the « water breaking » happened when I was on my bike on my way to the hospital".

Even if it seems incredible for a lot of other countries, here in Danemark, women cycle when they are pregnant, and they even bike with contractions to the hospital. Read here.

Fashion Week Girl: “Leather and fur is the perfect combination to cycle in winter”

Fashion week girl

I'm from Copenhagen. I cycle everyday and I love my bike even if it's falling apart.”

What would be your tips to cycle in winter? Do you wear specific clothes?”
I like to look good and of course I want to feel warm. Leather and fur is the perfect combination. You can find these clothes in vintage shops.”

What do you like when you bike in winter?”
When there is snow on the ground, the noise is different. The city is more quiet”.

Do you have a funny story which happened while you were cycling?”
One day the weather was really cold and the ground very slippery, a police car turned right and as I did not see it, I ended up directly on their bonnet. I was lying on their car but I had nothing, so it was finally a kind of a funny story.”

Fury Creatures

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2013 - 0076

What started as a trickle of fur mittens, hats and linings in Copenhagen last year developed into a fleet of fur jackets and even full coats this year.

Much faux fur, but also the real thing.

The Northern Approach

Purple Tones
Nørreport [Northgate if you translate it directly] is the busiest train station in the land and a major transport hub, in addition to being the northern entrance - or approach - to the historical city centre. This is what I saw the other day.
