WHO WE ARE

We're a bunch of friends who love style and bike riding. We think it'd be fun if these two things spent more quality time together.

Vancouver Cycle Chic began as a photo blog in 2010, documenting Vancouver's stylish people on bikes. The team registered as a society in 2012. It's also part of the Cycle Chic Republic — a group of blogs around the world that began with Copenhagen Cycle Chic.

After a lot of positive feedback about the blog, we decided to try our hand at other stuff, like events and films. Check us out.

Our Dream

We imagine a Vancouver where stylish people on bikes are commonplace. (Think Copenhagen, Paris, New York, Tokyo, Montreal, Portland.) Where people are comfortable on bikes.Where bicycles help us express our personal style and connect with our neighbourhoods.

We have a hunch that, although Gore-Tex is great for commuting in the rain, there's more to cycling in our city.

Getting on a bike can also be super casual, fun, and social. You don't need to be a "cyclist" to do it. Just hop on and go.

Here are some suggestions of things to do while on a bike:

• Meet your friend for coffee
• Go pick up kitty litter
• Take a cruise around the sea wall
• Ride to your hair appointment
• Make a late-night poutine run

Whatever. We would love to see you riding a bike, is all. And looking damn fine while you're at it.
