How can you not love her hat, her blue high heels and that great basket on the back of her bike? You can get yourself one (the basket, not the girl) at The Bicycle Shoppe on Meeting St. Tres chic!
Photos from the Charleston Cycle Chic Ride!

We had hats and heels and skirts galore and even a couple of tandem bikes. Shiny pink fenders, white leather seats, and all the colors of the rainbow were out in force. Thanks to my friends Dustin Ryan and Jim Wallace (with their newly formed video company – Pedicab Productions) for all the fantastic photos and upcoming video. Check out the ladies! There are multiple links to multiple slideshows so you can get your fill of the gorgeousness. If anyone has others – send the links to chscyclechic@gmail.com.
Thanks to everyone for coming out to ride in support of CharlestonMoves and to show this town we love the biking lifestyle – It’s chic to ride!
Stay tuned….we think there will be more….:)

What ever should I wear on the Charleston Cycle Chic ride?
Posted: May 12, 2009 Filed under: Cycle Chic, Tips | Tags: Chic, Events, Tips 2 Comments »How about these?
No really. Maybe not those (though I’d be very impressed if you tried) but you CAN wear heels and be comfortable. I do all the time. And a pretty skirt, or a bathing suit, or long pants and a turtleneck, or even (dare I say) spandex. Whatever in the world floats your boat. Because even though this IS about Cycle Chic – it’s really just about ridin’ pretty and as you already know, what makes you feel phenomenal is what works.
You can be assured however, that I’ll be sporting a pair of high-heel coral-colored patent-leather honeys. Shazaam!
Now THIS is Charleston Cycle Chic: Man-style.
Posted: May 9, 2009 Filed under: Cycle Chic | Tags: Chic 1 Comment »It’s a hot, sultry spring day in May. I’m riding along 
after a delightful turn around the Farmer’s Market, my basket full of fresh breads and long-stemmed flowers, when what do I see but this man – this glowing example of Charleston Cycle Chic. He shouts out to me “I like your style!” and I stop him in his tracks. He’s got the cool cruiser, the crisp white shirt and the sea-foam green pants that only the Charleston Man can sport. And a huge bouquet of flowers. Ladies, take a number.
How could I forget…The Skirt/Coat Guard
Posted: May 6, 2009 Filed under: Tips | Tags: Chic, EuroChic, Tips 1 Comment »I could be forgiven easily….While the skirt/coat guard is standard in Europe, 
it is ne’er to be seen in the US (WHY?). But don’t despair…there is one bike available made by Electra (go check them out at Mike’s Bikes on Folly Road) for both men and women that sports a snazzy guard. I think I need one. It’s called the Amsterdam. How apropos.
Then there’s always the option to make your own. Here’s how to do it. Show me how!

I think someone in Charleston needs to open a Cycle Chic Shop.
Pretty Please?
