Cycle Chic

Cycle Chic

Cycle Chic began is a blog about Copenhagen’s bicycle culture. It was founded in June 2007, when journalist, film director and photographer Mikael Colville-Andersen decided to put a growing number of his photos about Copenhagen's bicycle culture into one place on the internet.

It features a series of social documentary photos about Copenhagen, including a number of shots of life in the World's Cycling Capital focused on fashionable Copenhageners on their bicycles.

The feedback about these photos has been incredibly positive and there is a growing interest abroad, in seeing how the bicycle is an integral part of life in the Danish capital.

Bikes and Fashion

Until the birth of this blog, there wasn't any content on the internet relating to 'girls on bikes' or combining style and fashion with the humble bicycle.

Colville-Andersen has coined the phrase 'Cycle Chic', to describe the art of riding bicycles in regular, preferably fashionable, clothes and things started to accelerate.

This Cycle Chic blog has launched a global movement, a fashion trend and the imminent return of the bicycle as transport to the urban landscape.

The blog took on a street style form as it grew in popularity and the readership includes people interested in fashion as well as bicycles and bicycle culture.
