Sunny Bank Holidays in London are made for bikes 🙂 After a pleasantly busy weekend me and The Boy managed to get out for a ride: there was no agenda – just to cycle in the sunshine and see where our wheels would take us… Simply riding through the City in no hurry is lovely… and by bike, you certainly get the chance to take in  some sites easily. Ended up in Look Mum No Hands – my return visit (this time with bike) & The Boy’s first visit there. Goes without saying he was happy with the place, the bikes around us and the Kernel Beer+frosted class combo there… Joy for me […]

It’s fairly safe to say that Summer is creeping in – which has me thinking about a Summer Cycle Wardrobe… Playsuits will feature heavily this year. I became a fan of them after falling head over handlebars for this ChloĂ© one I bought in 2009: Other than trying it on in that picture, I’ve yet to wear it outside my house, which is a total disservice to how pretty & colourful it is! It should be fantastic to ride in: light material, not clingy and very breezy. I have 2 other Playsuits (bought last year) but I’ve been eyeing up the selection Topshop currently has on offer. These ones are definitely on the […]

I finally (sans bike) visited Look Mum No Hands today. Shameful as I’ve had my Pashley for a year & I don’t live that far away from LMNH at all! Headed there for lunch with my lovely friend Amy as we both were long overdue checking the place out… and it’s fantastic! I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you how lovely the vibe is in there: friendly staff, friendly fellow cyclists and some of the nicest pies I’ve tasted in a long time… Another visit is already being planned, and I intend on spending some hazy summery days there after a cycle around the city. Silly me for […]

What Ho dear readers! I must say, The Tweed Run has to be the best & most stylish cycling event in London… utterly spiffing! Riding towards St Paul’s in the splendid sunshine, I was filled with excitement – every so often we’d encounter other participants heading there, who dinged their bells or tooted their horns to say “Pip Pip!”  This was an understatement of how friendly everyone there was going to be 🙂 Even though I knew that it was a big event, it was still breathtaking to see so many cyclists together in Paternoster Square all decked out in seriously chic Tweed… Cycling through the roads of Central London was unbelievable! The […]

I finally have my outfit together for the Tweed Run! The Shoes and the Bag were the last items needed to complete it… almost had a breakdown at work today as the delivery didn’t show up until 16:00 – and our Post Room closes at 16:30! Just a quick iPhone picture of it – there will of course be proper pictures and details (including accessories) on the day, but this is a taster of it 🙂 Again, if anyone wants to meet / say “hello” on Saturday, drop me a message on Twitter (@ladyvelo) or email me using the link on the blog… see you on Saturday… Pip Pip! 🙂
