Spring is just around the corner – it is, really! – and you can bet your well shaped ass that there will be plenty of fashion brands and stores using the bicycle to promote their spring and summer collections.
Here are two examples we just happened to run into lately. Notice how panoramic images seem to be the new black.
Galeria Inno
Hermes – featuring their own luxury bicycle, of course

Oh! my bike – Longchamp fall 2012
Posted by Stefan | Filed under fashion
We’ve seen it before and it’s not really all that anymore: fashion brands that incorporate bicycles in their campaign. But Paris based Longchamp has caught our attention.
They’ve come up with a 2012-2013 fall and winter campaign called ‘Oh! my bike’ that is being launched on September 6th and are trying to create a buzz about it on Facebook. We are curious, so they’ve succeeded so far.
In the meantime, here are the photographs of the campaign, starring Coco Rocha and Emily Didonato and shot by Max Vadukul. I’m sure you’ve seen them in your favourite fashion magazine.

Antwerpen! Models wanted!
Posted by Benedicte | Filed under Antwerp, fashion
Antwerpen kent een bijzonder bloeiende en bonte fietscultuur. Samen met Belgium Cycle Chic wil de stad die fietscultuur in de verf zetten met een heuse Fietsmodeshow op zondag 15 juli.
Voor onze modeshow organiseren we een Cycle Chic Casting waarbij we op zoek gaan naar authentieke stadsfietsers voor op onze catwalk. Jonge papa, fashion girl, coole student, hippe oma, man of vrouw: een fiets past je altijd.
Ben jij één van de Antwerpse fietsers die zorgt voor kleur in de straat? Fiets jij zwierig en stijlvol door de stad? Kom dan met je fiets naar Park Spoor Noord op zaterdag 23 en 30 juni, van 15u tot 18u.
Pak uit met jouw persoonlijke fietsstijl, maak indruk op onze catwalk, laat je fotograferen door een modefotograaf. De geselecteerde modellen worden in de watten gelegd. Je krijgt een cadeautje, je mag langsgaan bij de kapper en visagiste en je wordt model tijdens onze fietsmodeshow op 15 juli op de Grote Markt!

“Tired” of the same old belts
Posted by | Filed under abroad, fashion, tip of the day
No pants will be cool without a unique piece to hold them. An Italian company has found an attractive, green and cyclechic way to make belts and we must say they’ve done a great job. The “Jiro” belt is made from innertubes and recycled tires. The durable rubber belts are found in various colours and sizes and cost about €30.
Buy them on www.jiro-belt.com

Are you designer, student, consultant or just a cycle freak? Maybe your idea can change Seoul to a more cycle friendly city. And you make chance to win a nice price… The competition is open to applicants from every country in the world.
“Once considered a ‘hard’ city, Seoul is making strides toward becoming a ‘soft’city. Seoul is about to be reborn as a soft city by embracing design concepts that will redefine its urban environment with an emphasis on themes centering on green, blue, history and human. The Seoul Cycle Design Competition will be held under the theme, ‘cycling with design: seoul style,’ and is part of Seoul’s city-wide effort at improving its design brand and image. the primary goal of the competition is to help build a design orientedcity that focuses on its people. the competition is divided into three categories: cycle design, cycle fashion & accessories design, and cycling infrastructure. all three categories emphasize environment-friendly ideas, with the hope that the contest will contribute to establishing a healthiercycling culture. Cycles have become an icon of ‘eco-friendliness’ and ‘healthiness,’ and are part of a major urban lifestyle trend. Nearly everyone can enjoy riding cycles; therefore, just about everyone will be able to enter the competition. Through this competition we hope that all citizens will have the chance to share their own personal visions for a new Seoul, a city that has embraced change through design. We invite everyone who is interested in cycling and design to take part in the Seoul Cycle Design Competition.”

California Cycle Chic
Posted by Stefan | Filed under abroad, fashion
As you know Cycle Chic is a global movement that was started in Copenhagen. Today there are numerous Cycle Chic blogs all over the world – some of which you can find on our blog roll on the right side.
One blog that we have been enjoying a lot lately is Bike By The Sea, a Santa Barbara, California based blog run by the amazing Christa Clark Jones.
Christa, always riding super elegant as you can see in the photo below, has been taking her love for cycling and passion for sustainable urban design and livable cities to a level beyond blogging. She has been the perfect lady bicycle advocate in media and society. And she is also a leading factor in organising and participating in all kinds of bicycle promoting events.
This month is CycleMAYnia, Santa Barbara’s month-long bicycle celebration. And it kicks off today in absolute style with Santa Barbara Cycle Chic, a bicycle fashion show featuring local fashion designers and bicycle companies.
Guess who’s organising, amongst others? Yep, Christa.

Check out the fashionable flyer as well.
Looks like California really has a taste for cycle chic fashion shows, cause via Copenhagen Cycle Chic we just learned that Sacramento Cycle Chic is having one of their own on May 8th. The two stunning ladies on the flyer are organising.
