As you already know, at Refashinoso we are addicted to “Be Eco-Fashionoso” and Copenhagen Cycle Chic is one of the most amazing inspiration site talking about how to cycle chic!. I’m going to show you just an examble of the “Guide they’ve created so far!

On the Copenhagen Cycle Chic’s site you can read: “Here in Copenhagen, our bicycles are just tools that we use to get around. We don’t give them names or fetishize about them, we just use them. However, if you going to spend half your life on your bicycle, you may as well personalise it a bit. We see the bicycle, above, quite often around Copenhagen and it is the ultimate personalised example. Simply gorgeous.

I suppose this isn’t really a How To Guide but more of a source of inspiration from the cyclists of Copenhagen to you. With love.

There are different reasons to personalise your bike. To make it look a bit nicer, to make it match your personal style, to hide the rust, to make it less attractive to thieves. Whatever the case, the sky is the limit and only you can make it your own.”

Here the 2 cute ideas with the Tutorials from A Lemon Squeezy to create your own personal basket for cycling chic! You can use old clothes and stuff around to be 100% Eco Fashion Cool!

KIDS BASKET:

She writes: “My son D had his birthday on Wednesday. He wanted a bike basket. Walmart’s cheapest basket was $15.00, and with my sons being so close, I knew that my other one would eventually want one as well. So that’s why I decided to make one instead!” I give a pic of what you need to create this:

and then have a look at A Lemon Squeezy Home’s site for the tutorial details! But this is not finish:

VINTAGE BASKET:

“I remember finishing boy basket, and thinking how pretty it could be for a girl with a few changes. So I re-designed the entire thing to fit an adult vintage style bike. *This basket actually fits my son’s child size bike, so it doesn’t even have to be only for an adult bike!”

This is the amazing idea by Justin Shull: a solar-powered vehicle that looks as a shurb: the driver uses video screens inside to see what’s going on outside. WOW BIS!!
Let me tell you that I usually hate cars but this “Terrestrial Shrub Rover” could become my best friend ever! Probably that’s not pratical for going by highway, but sure is perfect for everyday life.

Growth in the culture of recycling and conservation Gibi learned first to decorate herself with her fantasies and then did it with others.

Each pin, each cap, every creative necklace is a mirror of her mood, of thoughts and situations.

Scrap of all kinds, costume jewelry, lace, fabrics, wood wastes, toys forgotten by the fast growing, parfume samples, pearls, ribbons, braids and glue marry sensations that come from outside and inside of this artist.

Little things became real symbolic messages because they are full of stories and smells of past; concepts to wear, decorative rhetoric.

“Cyclechic was born out of frustration with the lack of stylish cycling accessories on the market. I had cycled in London for a year or so and whilst I loved the elegance of breezing though the streets on two wheels I was constantly frustrated by cycling’s overridingly geeky image. I searched high and low for items that would fit in with a modern woman’s wardrobe and that would enhance one’s cycling style rather than leave you crying in shame” says Caz Nicklin.

“I hope to keep pushing people’s perceptions of cycling and encourage more women to take to wheels by providing products and advice that make sense to the modern woman”.

So at the question: “is it possible to cycle in London and look good?” She answers:

“As a London lady who cycles and refuses to be another Lycra clad anorak… I think the answer is YES. This site offers tips and advice on how to combine safety, practicality and style to acheive true urban cycle chic.”
