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.

MARKED & EARNEST

Robyn covered our Cycle Chic Social on her blog The Rainy Season and we eventually connected over Twitter. We met up in Chinatown, one of the oldest parts of Vancouver, where I snapped these instant Cycle Chic gems. // Location: Chinatown, Vancouver // d.

VCC IN TORONTO

My band was part of Toronto's NxNE festival this year. It was my chance to give 416 Cycle Style a short break and peep on the beautiful bikers of Toronto. My meet-up with 416 Cycle Style was far too short, sadly. // Location: Here and there in Toronto // d.

MAKE MUSIC VANCOUVER

Spent the afternoon checking out all the music at Make Music Vancouver, the annual street festival in Gastown that features a million free concerts. Stylish people everywhere walking their bikes through the crowds. // Location: Gastown, Vancouver // d.

GRASS SHOOT

Were you at the Cycle Chic Social a couple weeks ago? If so, you might have noticed a crazy bamboo bike on display there. The local company, Grass Frames, provided us this beautiful bike along with its rider for a VCC-style shoot. I love their attention to detail. // Location: Vancouver Terminal Station // d.

MACPHERSON CRATES // SARA

Spent a beautiful afternoon with lovely Sara, from Macpherson Crate Co. She lent us some crates for our new Cycle Chic video. These crates will be on display at Cycle Chic Social, June 29. I'm seeing these crates everywhere, including on a recent trip to Berlin. Quality and chic, just like Sara. // Location: Davie Street Co-op Gardens // d.
