The photographs in Cycle Chic provide an inspiration to ride fashionably. Brief and flirty commentary is scattered throughout eye-popping images of men and women looking chic on personalized bicycles. A collection of photographs from the website that introduced the concept of cycle chic to the world, Cycle Chic’s candid images provide an unimpeded view of people using bicycles from Copenhagen to Tokyo, from Rio de Janeiro to Montreal. Cycle Chic emphasizes “style over speed,” strengthening the idea that cycling as transportation is for everyone and every style.
