and cycle chic sundays return! this week, i decided to have some fun on polyvore and created two easy outfits for a springtime bike ride around town. i firmly believe that there is no need to wear shorts or pants while riding your bike. just throw on a simple pair of cycle shorts underneath your skirt or dress and you can pretty much wear anything you want!
the first look is decidedly more casual, while the second look is more appropriate if you know you’er going to be hitting a bit more distance around town. my shoe of choice is any pair of flat sandals to keep my feet cool! i also find that it’s helpful to wear a few simple layers, a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes, and to invest in a simple bike basket to hold your purse or bag and whatever other items you might pick up along the way! if you’re planning a more intense ride, you can check out what i wore on my last bike tour.
p.s. you can click through to shop the looks seen above.
p.p.s. in other news, i’m selling my vintage raleigh 3-speed to make room in my apartment for a new bike. if you’re in the bay area, let me know if you’re interested!

Love this! I really want the bike with the basket! I adore the skirt, bag and tan shoes too. :)
Yayyy, I love cycle chic! And I get back to my bike in less than a month, and can’t wait to ride it everywhere all summer!
springtime is finally almost here! can i get a hip hip hurray right about now? :) i totally love your outfit combinations, and they are oh so perfect for cycling for the oh so perfect weather at this oh so perfect time of year. Hahah. whoo, all them pretty little dingle dangles come out this season! oh, life is so good!..except for all the pollen. Allergies is really not my thing (is it anyones?). Hehe, well I may sound a bit cookoo right now, but that’s alright. I’ve been a HUGE fan of you and your blog for like a long time now, and I live in the bay area too! (i promise i don’t stalk you!) anyways though, I was wondering if it was possible for me to maybe feature you on my blog :) And maybe ask you a few questions? Thanks a bunch!
