It's Always Sunny in the Cycle Chic Republic

The internet is brilliant for many reasons. One of them isn't that in the midst of winter we can see instant images of people enjoying a brilliant summer on the bottom half of the planet - like this fantastic shot from our friends at Sydney Cycle Chic. But we shall wait patiently and strike back in about four months time when they're shivering. Hah.

At least the sun never sets on the Cycle Chic Republic and it's always sunny somewhere - and always cocktail time somewhere, too.

Climate Change - Australia Cycle Chic

Climate Change is a serious issue. It can also be quite depressing. When the climate changes to winter here in Copenhagen, it's changing to summer Down Under. Lucy from Sydney Vintage Bikes sent us these shots from a recent campaign in Sydney. Bondi, to be precise. They were taken by Lara Inc. - Sydney’s most respected fashion and lifestyle events agency and were in conjuction with an event for Switch Flops.

Lucy provided the vintage bikes for the event.

While we wouldn't want to live anywhere else but Copenhagen, we certainly wouldn't mind a little Australian holiday right about now.

Remember, you always have Sydney Cycle Chic for more photos from Down Under.


Meanwhile, back at Cycle Chic Headquarters in Copenhagen:

Australia Wedding Cycle Chic

From a snowy, sub-zero Copenhagen to a summery Australia. Thanks to Lucy from Sydney Vintage Bikes for some Australia Cycle Chic to warm us on these chilly days. Above and below you can see splendid engagement photography by Gemma Clarke.


Here are a couple more wedding shots from Down Under.

Absolutely brilliant stuff. Fantastic atmosphere.


And here's a lovely classic dog-in-basket shot.

Sydney Cycle Chic

Been awhile since we had a spot of Australia Cycle Chic. Here's a shot from the Cycle Chic group on Flickr by Velovotee taken in Sydney.

If you're down under and looking for restored vintage bicycles, check out our friend Lucy's eBay page to see if you can find your dream bicycle.

Sydney Cycle Chic

Here's a little splash of Cycle Chic from Down Under.

Sydney Cycle Chic, indeed. Nice. Thanks to Candycranks.

You may recall the story about Sue, the cyclist in New South Wales who is fighting a ticket for cycling without a helmet. She's getting ready for court and defending herself on the grounds of 'necessity'. You can see a little film about it here. Go Sue!

Australia [Cargo] Cycle Chic

A little montage of photos featuring the iconic Christiania Bike in Australia. It's so iconic that i dare say if a Dane spots one abroad, a sense of nostalgia and homesickness will ensue.
