ROWAN SKY
I was introduced to this store by the lovely and famous Cycle Chicster Cora. Accosting the above dog are the boys at Rowan Sky footwear, located in the city's historical neighbourhood of Gastown. Shoes and accessories are their business so we asked them to outfit our models at last summer's Cycle Chic fashion show. I got word that they picked up some new bikes at Whoa! Nellie Bikes so I stopped in for proof. They delivered. // Location: Homer and Cordova, Gastown, Vancouver. // d.

GASTOWN CHIC
When I asked her about her outfit, she said, "[...] I never give away my fashion secrets, but I will tell you that about half my ensemble is second hand." // Location: Gassy Jack, Gastown, Vancouver // d.

Fluevog Cycle Chic
Mr. Fluevog needs no introduction. The Vancouver style staple and internationally renown shoe designer was closing up shop on Water Street for the night when I nearly blasted past him. I waved quickly and he returned the gesture. I hopped off my bike to ask for a few shots for the blog and he happily accepted.
At this point I should add that I never knew what John Fluevog looked like. Standing before me was just an impeccably dressed photo opportunity about to embark on the only Pedersen Bike I've ever seen in person in my city. He was well dressed, upright on his bike and apparently without the delusion of helmet urgency that North Americans have become infected by.
I tried my best with the camera considering the lighting, but I am confident that I captured some serious awesomeness here.
Me: "And what's your name?"
John: "John Fluevog."
Me: "Im so sorry, I feel so stupid."
John: "Why? Don't feel stupid!"
Me: "But you're John Fluevog! I just didn't know what you looked like."
Check out the shoes here!

Gotta get the Slow Ones
Photographing cyclists who are on foot is my favourite because I don't have an autofocus lens. This lack of modern equipment reduces my chances of catching anyone going faster than 3km/h. If I do happen to get a great action shot, I don't even understand how it happened.

Mad Dog and Powell Street Slim. Now You Know
On a date, I was reluctant to photo anything because I just wanted to not think of my blog for a day. My lady insisted I photo these two guys that rode past us on their cruisers, so on our way out from the beach I asked them for a few shots. Here is what I discovered:
Lesson #1: Blaine, aka. "Powell Street Slim" (bearded one) and Gary, aka. "Mad Dog" are Vancouver cruiser veterans. Any time you see hoards of cruisers tearing up the city you can bet these guys are part of it.
It was an honour to meet them since I started cycling by building up old cruisers and bothering the local cruiser guys at stores and on forums. I recognized these names and now I know who they are--and so do you.
Lesson #2: Listen to your girlfriend once in a while.

Dachshund Chic
I met these two on my way back from a long fixie ride to Iona beach. They invited me to the Hawaii themed cruiser ride starting in Crab Park but I opted for some photos instead. I love cargo bikes and she so happened to be cargo'ing two dachshunds outfitted with leis.
