Time for another cycling product review, and this time it’s brought to you by Ian James! He’s guest posting on Vélo-City-Girl after falling in love with the Ally Capellino Tommo Bag and insisting on reviewing* it. The Boy has put the bag through its paces on his bike, and brings us this review of the Tommo…   So, ‘The Boy’ here doing a guest post on a rather lovely bag for Velo-City-Girl. This is entirely because from the moment I saw the Ally Capellino Tommo Despatch Bag I had to have it and have pretty much stole it from Lady Velo! It pretty much hasn’t left my side (on and off my Cannondale) relegating all […]

With less than a week to go before the start of the Olympics, I must admit my excitement for the event has been building up. First there was the emotional BBC documentary on Victoria Pendleton earlier this week (which featured the Cycletta event which I interviewed her about last year), and now the Torch has finally made it to Newham – home of the events and where I’m from. As it was passing so close to home there was no way that I could miss it, so I headed out to Green Street Market this morning to have a look… I loved this old bus… yes, there are lots of […]

 Well, ring my bell…  this Monday I found out VCG made the final shortlist for the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards! Vélo-City-Girl is up for Best Lifestyle blog… and I owe every single reader / follower a massive “thank you” for nominating me! Running VCG is an absolute pleasure, and it’s fantastic to know that it has struck a chord with so many people… and of course brilliant to see Cycling & Fashion (and everything that happens in between on my bike) is being picked-up on a wider scale. There are some familiar & fabulous blogs who have been nominated in other categories, including Anna of South Moulton St Style (please check her out and give her […]

It’s rather hard to believe it’s Summer in the UK at the moment. Torrential rain, dark skies and wearing wellies in July? I think we’ve been robbed of the sunshine for long enough! Something that has injected some rays of light into my world is the colour Pink. Now, I’m not usually a pink girl, but thanks to the Cambridge Satchel Company releasing their limited edition ‘Pastel’ range of bags, I was inspired to put together a fuchsia-fashion mix (yes, a handbag can set off a whole new outfit for me) which I reckon would look damned ace on the Pashley…or any bicycle for that matter… Rio Top by Vivienne of Holloway: The vintage violet […]

The London Nocturne came back to the streets of Smithfield Market last month. With another eclectic mix of bikes and varied agility races, there was something there to please everyone… Gent on a Guv’nor – not sure he was racing though! Team preparations… Fast riding in the Leigh Day & Co Kermesse, which I especially enjoyed watching… Of course while I was there, I was on a mission to hunt for more cycling-fashion! It was brilliant to see some new faces amongst the established cycling brands with pop-up stalls at the event – one of which was the Michaux Club. Founded by Rachel Bonney (pictured above), the Michaux bag range began […]
