- URBAN CYCLE CHIC
The city is a playground for bikes. Urban cycling leads to a more active, spontaneous lifestyle despite spiralling congestion and fuel prices. It's less about lycra and more about jumping on a bike in whatever you're wearing and getting around the urban landscape with style. For many . . . it's a catwalk on wheels.
The city is an arena for bike and rider to thrive in. It’s a dynamic act of personal expression and rebellion. To leave the car at home and cruise through the city streets is strength, keeping you alert and active in an era of rising apathy and obesity.
Urban Cyclism is about being on the bike in the city, the kit and style that goes with it. There's a bike renaissance going on right now and one of its drivers is the style of the bike messenger, courier scene. Its not just messenger bags and beanies though - its about attitude, an act of resistance, a certain sense of militancy born of the Critical Mass movement. Take Alley Cat racing, not known to many people, there's a global underground urban racing circuit. They’re illegal, aerobic punk rock - radical, guerilla anarchy.
Not only is the bike a great athletic piece of steel in the cities, it’s also a way to save your mind. Daily we see gridlocked drivers aggravating each other as they inch their way through city traffic. The simple facts are - the streets aren’t getting wider and the buildings aren’t getting skinnier. This shit is only going to get worse. But the beauty of riding bikes in any city is this: You don’t care. The overcrowding is inevitable, and you have a way to deal with it. It’s that simple.
I don’t find it alright to sit with the rest of the cattle in traffic. To sit on your ass in a car surrounded by suits who have surrendered themselves to traffic is madness. I find it a warped sense of what is “normal.” It surprises me that so many people tolerate it.
