Cyclists

in The Netherlands or Denmark will
find cycle chic far easier to accomplish
than riders in Sydney or New York. In
countries with bicycle lanes and right
of way laws, bike journeys are safe
and comfortable with no need for
fashion-diminishing accessories like
helmets and fluoro vests. If wearing
a helmet is essential and your goal
is to look as little like a Lego man as
possible, Sawako Furuno and Yakkay
create adorable protective headgear.
Another nifty essential is a cape,
which has the rare ability to be both
functional and make you ridiculously attractive (seriously have you ever
seen anyone not look incredible in a
cape?). We like this one from Victoria’s
Secret and this one from Cycle Style.
