Yeah Boiiiii

Woah. Hold on. Who says that it's just Copenhagen women that own the Cycle Chic posts. I think it's definitely time to give the boyz some credit now. It's only fair!
Colourful long vests and baseball caps. Nice going.
So glad when guys don't turn to straighteners. Curls are awesome! (Definitely was not going to say cute - an adjective most forbidden when describing guys.)

Guys can multi-task! Talking on the phone and posing all at once? Done.
Christania bikes. So you can pick up your girlfriend - (s).


Bit of banter amongst men whilst waiting for the traffic lights to change.

In light of the evidence above I think it's fair to say that Copenhagen guys know what they're doing. If you agree, give them a like!

Colour Splash

Nosey into any Copenhageners' wardrobe and you should find their favourite key pieces in black, grey or white. However, these lot show us that by adding a splash of colour you can keep any outfit far from being dull.


Revive an otherwise plain outfit by adding a psychedelic vintage bomber jacket.


Make a bold yet simple statement by teaming a classic LBD with a jacket in a loud colour. Splash out a bit!

Over and out!

Fixing Melbourne

A minor departure from the usual Cycle Chic fare. This chap was at the same hotel in Melbourne - the ultra cool Hotel Olsen - and came rolling up on this Cecil Walker fixie.

Cool chap on a lovely bike from a cool Australian bikemaker.

London Recalling

So, just got back from London. It was a lovely visit and the photo assignment was great. I cycled all around London over two days and enjoyed it. I stayed a my friend Alice's flat. She had moved out and it was empty. I chuckled when I remembered the old Scorcese film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. Here's me checking my A to Z map before embarking on the day's journey.


On Monday evening, after cycling like mad around the city, there was Cycle Chic on the menu. Andrea, owner of the Velorution bike shop in Great Titchfield Street, whipped up a little event in no time and it was great to meet readers and likeminded individuals. I said a few words and a few others presented cycle-related products, all while we snacked on Danish food.

Above is Amy from the cool Cyclodelic brand. We've blogged about them before and it was smashing to meet up. Amy was on her way home at this point, looking Cycle Chictastique on her bicycle.

Here's Velorution's shop. Lovely place.

It was also brilliant to meet readers, especially Jen from Chicago - now London - complete with her Cycle Chic tote bag! I rarely get to see people using the merchandise. Wonderful chatting with you, Jen!

Andrea, the owner of the shop, escorted me halfway home later on, after a beer. Thanks to him for whipping the little event together on such short notice.


Charles from Man on the Move presented a bespoke cushion designed to sit on the back rack and spare delicate bottoms from unforgiving back racks.


Two 'n Fro presented some cheeky clothing on two cheeky mannequins... and I love the way they rode off with them on their scooters.

Matt from Michaud Apparel has designd a brilliant Executive Pannier that doubles as baggage. Very bespoke and a lovely design. Check it out on his website Michaud Apparel.

Tony, who features in our Cycle Chic film from Brussels, presented t-shirts for I BIKE LDN, which we be available soon. Tony owns Cyclehoop, which makes cool bike racks for urban landscapes. They're already in place a number of locations in London. Nice.

Last but certainly not least, Richard Nolan-Neylan presented a sneak preview of his upcoming photo exhibition featuring Danish bicycles. 318 Danish bicycles in all. The exhibition is at photo-space at 530 Commercial Road, E1 from July 2 - 1 August.

London, as ever, rules. Used to live there and it was great to be back. More photos of London Cycle Chic on the way.

Tokyo

What a mad town. Every time I'm here I love it more and more.

Standard Japanese Supermum - mamachari.

Casual with heels.

Cool Cats at the Bike Race

Caught this cool chap at the Cargo Bike Race. Or maybe he was merely browsing the flea market next to the race course. Now I'm not particularly interested in his bike but I asked what kind it was. In typical Copenhagen fashion, he shrugged and said he bought it online but couldn't remember the name. It's not about the bike, it's about you... on the bike. And this bike worked perfectly for him.

Copenhageners enjoyed the sunshine at the race. Here's a little slice of Copenhagen life. Friend embracing a friend on a cargo bike and another chap speeding past with beers.

We have fixies here in Copenhagen apparently. Which is cool. Here's one of the Copenhageners who ride them.
