Nice bikes no matter which way you're heading.

Still more cruising
Cruiser bikes have really taken off recently and I am guessing that the wide range of colours has something to do with it.

Hotel guest bikes
The people at Minto Suites Hotel seem to understand the need to provide their guests with nice bicycles for getting around town. And nice bikes they are. Conveniently located next to the Lyon Street bike lane (south) and next to the upcoming Laurier Avenue segregated bike lanes. Ottawa Cycle Chic thinks this is a great idea and fine customer service!
Rainy day chic
It would be nice to see the sun again but rain doesn't need to dampen one's chic expressions.

Capitale Bixi launches in Ottawa
Capitale Bixi started up last week under slightly dreary weather but it did nothing to dampen the spirits of those test riding the bixis. Ottawa Cycle Chic was there to capture the moment.
Bixi chic!
Ottawa Cycle Chic found the colour scheme of our Capitale Bixis to be very appropriate for the Nation's capital.

More cruising
We have had some really inconsistent weather of late...cool one day and warm the next. So jackets and coats are still to be seen.

Capital chic!
What better time to launch Ottawa Cycle Chic than the May holiday long weekend. Glorious weather and bicycles everywhere! In addition, we launched Capitale Bixi this past week and the bike-share plan is off to a great start with red and white Bixis spotted all over the streets and pathways.

I first noticed the cycle chic style in Ottawa during the summer of 2009, but it wasn't until last summer that chic cyclists were seen more often. This summer it has really taken off. Upright bikes have obviously found their way out of cellars and garages and maybe a mountain bike or two has been parked. I've seen Pashleys, Multicycles and Adriaticas popping up along the canal pathways and on our city streets. No longer a head-turning occasion but now part of the everyday scene in Ottawa...as it should be.
