Charleston Cycle Chic Fashion Show at the Bicycle BrewHaha (Photos)
Posted: September 9, 2011 Filed under: Events | Tags: Biking Lifestyle, Cycle Chic, Photos Leave a comment »Last night we had our very first Charleston Cycle Chic fashion show at the Bicycle Brewhaha – celebrating progress we’ve made toward making Charleston more bike-friendly. Hundreds of people showed up on a beautiful Charleston night as the sun set over the Harbor and a breeze blew off the water. We imbibed, we ate, we danced, we played, we bike-poloed and we rode the runway.
In Charleston, Cycle Chic is not only about pretty people on pretty bikes, it’s about being joyful, exuberant YOU on two wheels. So here some photos from our event last night (and we are kicking ourselves for not doing a video!) Thanks to all our amazing participants! The song in this slideshow is one we discovered in creating a soundtrack for the show. Kudos out to Coco Love Alcorn for her fun and cheeky song “I Got a Bicycle”.

High Heels and Two Wheels – right here in Charleston

We know the person, have met her several times, follow her on Twitter, even saw her loading up her bike at the grocery store the other day.
But had not read her blog. Shame shame.
So here’s a shout out to a brave and beautiful woman, who gave up her car in favor of the bike, who rides with style and grace, and is pretty funny too. Read her blog now. High Heels and Two Wheels.
Erin, will you be our new mascot? Pretty please?

Will Velorbis Bicycles Come to Charleston?
Posted: September 27, 2010 Filed under: Cycle Chic | Tags: Biking Lifestyle, Cycle Chic 4 Comments »We’ve been salivating after Velorbis bikes for quite a while now, but alas, they were only sold across the pond. They sell classic vintage bicycles including those great cargo bikes that are perfect for groceries and/or kids. Fortunately the bike angels have been watching over us, because now Velorbis has come to the US! Actually, the distributor out of Chicago contacted us to see about carrying their lines in Charleston. YES!!! YES PLEASE!! Check out some of their bicycles below and let us know if you want ‘em.
Beach Cruisin’ Beauty
Posted: June 7, 2010 Filed under: Cycle Chic | Tags: Cycle Chic, Photos 2 Comments »A reader sent in these photos after a group of her girlfriends and even a few of the husbands put this beach cruiser together as a birthday/moving away gift for her sister. Knowing full well you just can’t live on or near the beach without a chic beach cruiser that makes you happy, I think they did a fantastic job don’t you? A little creativity and a light-hearted spirit goes a long way.
Hope to see you around town Sherry!!

Let Your Inner Bike Goddess Shine
Posted: May 19, 2010 Filed under: Cycle Chic | Tags: Cycle Chic, Inspiration 1 Comment »We found this post somewhere online and just loved it. It’s about casting away fear and doubt and letting your inner bike goddess shine. Thanks to Cecily Cycle Chic for this!
Excerpt:
“The wind caught the hem of my dress as I sped downhill, but I didn’t care. The breeze felt like a chilly kiss on my bare knees, and the sensation made me sit a little straighter on my bike seat. My head was high, my chin pointed defiantly forward as I pushed up and coasted down hills on my way into the office.”
