Tomorrow (Sunday 3rd February)  I will be at The Chess Board in Garema Place at 9am with my bike and camera, and a strong hankering for a cup of coffee.  We can decide amongst ourselves where we will ride to, but allow for a couple of hours of fun and new friends.  Hope to see you there!...

It’s Springtime in Australia and with a bit of luck there will be some renewed interest in Cycle Chic in Canberra.  Check the facebook page for updates of Cycle Chic Sunday rides… Where are all the...

Please note that Cycle Chic Sundays will henceforth be held on the first Sunday of every month only.  The ride will still depart from the ‘Chess Board’ in Garema Place in the city centre at 9.30am, and the route will be determined either beforehand on facebook or on the day,...

Hello Chicsters! Somebody clever suggested we start our Cycle Chic Sunday rides earlier in the day.  This has two advantages: first, it avoids the heat of the midday sun.  Second, you can come along for the ride and still have the rest of the day to yourself.  So, I’m going to take...

The weather has warmed up so this Sunday we relaunch our regular Sunday rides.  Every second Sunday (1st & 3rd Sunday of the month), departure is always from the Chess Board in Garema Place in the city, and the ride is always in the direction of a good cafe where we stop for lunch or...

Hello everyone, Last Sunday I dragged one of my daughters (and her slightly reluctant friend) out for a ride into the city to meet other Cycle Chicsters for the first of our July Cycle Chic Sunday rides. I’m not sure what the temperature was, exactly, but I’d be willing to bet the...

It was a bright and sunny but cold and slightly blustery Sunday afternoon in June, but that didn’t deter Monica from donning a warm jacket and joining my two daughters and I for a ride to the Kingston Markets. Monica has a black Gazelle, which is a Dutch-made bike; being of Dutch descent...

Please welcome our first Guest Blogger, the always chic and fabulous Miss Libby O! Well Sunday past saw me head out thinking it was to be just me and Kerry, two vintage chicks on two vintage bikes  Others less hardy had pulled out due to the weather, homework and other stuff, but Kerry and...

Sunday, May 1st was an Afternoon Tea ride.  We met at the usual place – the Chess Board in Garema Place. Nobody is ever playing chess when I go there.  Why is that? Kerry was there with her new old bike, a beautiful blue Peugeot that she picked up at a Garage Sale, talking the vendor...

Here are some pictures from yesterday’s ride.  We left the Chess Board at about midday (running late, plus a stop-off for some Band-Aids for my younger daughter’s skinned knee, the result of attempting a very sharp U-turn on gravel… live and learn). Miss Libby’s...

Our next ride is tomorrow!  We will be departing from the usual spot by the Chess Board in Garema Place at 11.30am.  We’ll do a bit of a ride around town, then over to Old Parliament House where there’s a car show (Fiats!), then onto Urban Pantry at New Acton for lunch.  Hope to...

Our second Cycle Chic Sunday ride was our first lunchtime event.  We rode from the Chess Board in Garema Place to Tilley’s Devine Cafe in Lyneham.  And by “we rode” I actually mean “everyone else rode and I went by car because I came from a client meeting and left...

Eleven chic and fabulous cyclists joined my daughter Ella and I for a ride from the chess board in Garema Place to the Cafe at the National Portrait Gallery. We were joined at the Cafe by some other keen cyclists, including Drago from the ANU’s Recyclery who will be featuring in a blog...
