Thanks to Deb who sent this photo in today – there are still plenty of people out and about on their bikes, enjoying these last balmy (balmy?!) days of March. You look gorgeous, Nikki! Welcome to CycleChic. Bring on...

I wrote a post for HerCanberra on ‘cycle chic’ – if you’re interested please check it out!  The discussion in the comments was all really positive ...

This is Deb, looking the epitome of summer Canberra Cycle Chic. She’s on her way home from the pool, what a way to spend a warm weeknight in Canberra. -...

Here we have Ai Leen, who’s keeping cool and chic on her way back from the city to the university campus on a scorching summer day. An economics graduate, she’s about to delve into some post-graduate studies in Statistics at ANU.  I love the shady and stylish summer ensemble,...

This is Lauren… you can see why she caught my eye in the city the other day. This is exactly what Cycle Chic is all about.  You can wear anything while riding a bike, you don’t need special clothes or expensive equipment.  What are you waiting...

I have some exciting news!  I received a lovely email from Paula, offering to help me keep this site updated with photos of Canberra’s cycle chicsters, and organise some events for the coming year.  I’ll introduce you properly to Paula in the next couple of weeks, but in the...

Mikael Colville-Andersen, the creator/founder of Copenhagen Cycle Chic and Copenhagenize is turning his online work into an in-print book featuring over 300 images. This week, the publishers sent me an email to introduce the book and some of the gorgeous pictures contained therein: Chic...

I’ve lost track of how many chic cyclists I’ve seen in the city over the past few months – this warmer weather has brought everyone out of hiding, and by the looks of things a lot of people are out and about on brand-spanking-new bikes. I’ve also lost track of how many...

I must first apologise to Shellaine if I have misspelled her name; I tapped it out on my iPhone and then, when I went to post the image, I accidentally deleted what I had written! Fortunately, I at least managed to save the image.  Look at this gorgeous bike!  And look how happy and content...

Just in case you were wondering, baskets and flowers are optional extras when it comes to being chic on a bike.  A lovely, pretty optional extra.  Yay for...

Ever heard of sunlight like this described as ‘fingers of God’?  I think I first read that description in Bryce Courtney’s book ‘April Fool’s Day’.  He and his wife and son had travelled to Italy and suddenly the clouds parted and the sun streamed down to...

I saw this bike parked at Dickson Shops yesterday afternoon – how could I not? It’s a pink Electra! It belongs to Emily, who bought it a few weeks ago from the Ride Shop in Lonsdale Street. She rides to work at the Australian War Memorial from her home in the Inner North, which...

Yolande, spotted in front of the Lonsdale Street Roasters in Braddon.  This bright yellow Apollo belonged to her mother – it was a 21st birthday present to her, from Yolande’s father.  How sweet is that?  Yolande rescued it from the garage where it had been languishing for a...

I spotted Jacqui in Manuka on Saturday morning, looking fabulous in knee-high boots and bright red lipstick.  She was camera-shy, but her bike was more than happy to strike a pose.  I’m trying to convince Jacqui to come along on one of our Cycle Chic Sunday rides… and get over...

Vintage bike? Check. Gorgeous dress? Check. Silk rose pinned to cardi? Check. Heels? Check. Melissa, snapped this morning in the city.  Welcome to Cycle Chic, Melissa!  Thanks for stopping for a...

I was really hoping the owner of this bike would step forward and say hello whilst I was admiring the bike.  If you’re out there, please say ‘hi’ in the comments. (This is a ladies’ Vanmoof… click HERE to browse the mens’ models on the...

This morning I had to be in the city at 7.30 to take my car in for a service.  I decided I’d bring my camera along and, whilst my car was being seen to, I would sit in front of a cafe on Lonsdale Street and photograph chic Canberrans on bikes on their way into work. Didn’t see a...

I really hope that chic blokes on bikes aren’t confused by the title of this blog – Cycle Chic is for anyone and everyone on a bike, certainly not just women.  It’s CHIC, not CHICK. chic adjective, -er, -est. attractive and fashionable; stylish: a chic hat noun style and...

This is Meaghan, snapped on a sunny day in Lonsdale Street, with her new/old bike, a bright blue Raleigh purchased from the Recyclery at the ANU.  Lovely to meet you, Meaghan! And congratulations on being the first Canberra Chic Cyclist photographed for this website – it took me a...
