When Boys Talk

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2016 - 0161

One of the great things about Copenhagen's bike lanes is that they often are broad enough to allow people to ride side-by-side chatting and enjoying the ride together.

Off in a hurry in the morning. But half way to wherever your bag slips! Hate it...

London Chic Calling

London Bikehaven by Mellbin - 2014 - 0556

London has its own vibrant cycle scene these days. Still a way to go on biking infrastructure. But on the Cycle Chic side of things they are quite there already.

Shinola - Iconic Bicycle Brand from Detroit settled down in the City of Angels

DSC_0125
Clotilde, Head of Copenhagenize France, was in Venice (CA, USA) a few weeks ago to discover what Los Angeles and Santa Monica have to offer in terms of public spaces and bicycle infrastructure. Outcome : quite a lot actually!

But first, let's focus on a unique street, which is gradually turning into the Mecca of stylish urban cycling: Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Three years ago, only Linus Bike (Dutch inspired bicycles) has a store on this hip street. Now, Shinola, and cycling accessories brands, like Rapha and Timbuk2 are well established.

Shinola is a stylish brand from Detroit (MI), producing bikes, watches, and leather bags. It's obviously a brand which wants to promote the American industrial know-how and put it back at the forefront.

Clotilde has test-driven the Women's Detroit Arrow, a black & white qualitative single-speed bike, with leather saddle and cork grips. It was also the opportunity to realise a photo shooting with a Cycle Chic touch and palm trees in the background.

Bye the way, the city of Detroit, is the birthplace of American automotive industry. But "Motor City" is living a real shift and politicians have the will to offer to their inhabitants all the modern urban mobility solutions including cycling.

Cross Over Alert

Copenhagen Bikehaven by Mellbin - Bike Cycle Bicycle - 2015 - 0494

I've seen this a few times. But I cannot recommend it. Way to go if you have a short skirt and also the balancing skills needed to cross over your legs while riding. Maybe Cycle Chic should do a guide on this...
