Mikael Chic

In honor of the man who brought us Cycle Chic, here is a little Mikael Chic.

Happy Birthday Mikael and thank you for showing us the beauty of the bicycle!

Marching into More Rain and Wind

The weather is letting us down here in Copenhagen. Spring is as late as an Italian train. It's usually hard to remember the weather in previous years but fortunately we have the Cycle Chic Archive to help us determine if this crappy weather is normal or if we're being robbed blind of sunlight and warmth. Above and below, photos from on or about this day in March, 2007.

THIS DAY IN 2010

On this date last year I was speaking in Mexico City and doing Cycle Chic events in the city like a photo shoot, and a Cycle Chic Critically Stylish Ride. Which, after perusing these archive photos of what the weather is like in early March in Copenhagen, is really where I should be. Viva Mexico DF.

Who Let the Dogs Out? Canine Cycle Chic

I know we have a lot of photos in the Cycle Chic archives. Sometimes, however, it is amazing how many. It's nice to put them into themes once in awhile. We figured we'd do a Bicycles & Dogs article. Simple enough. Until we realised how many photos that would involve. So... here's a Best of Bicycles & Dogs series. Canine Cycle Chic, if you like.

When the bicycle is the preferred transport form - and the most convenient - it is second nature to take your dog with you wherever you may be headed. Most of the photos are from Copenhagen, but it's not just us. The dapper chap, above, is in Rome.

WALKING THE DOG

Carrying your dog with you in your basket or whatnot is one way to do it but it's not the only way. Here's a series of shots of people walking their dogs on their bicycles.











And dogs are handy to have in the city. Like this one tied to the very busy bike racks outside the Central Library. Great for guarding much sought after parking spots.

And let's wrap up with the Man Bikes Dog video:
