I want to get a bike, fixie it all up and bling it right out. Forget gears, forget free-wheel mechanisms - keep it real.
Club Emblem is all about bikes. We've been e-bayddicted trying to beat university art students to the rustiest, sweetest deals around.
And since we love the humble bike, here is a deeper understanding of how the members of emblem would choose to make their way through life:
L is a picture of Parisien perfection framed by a 70's love child. She is all baskets and baguettes, ballet flats and berets but with a trailing tie dyed headscarf.
B's heart still lies with the radical 80's bike rage. She is a BMX bandit. Imagine if you will Drew Barrymore ripping it up on a dirt bike in Charlie's Angels and there you have it - sexy, fearless and smoking hot.
M lives for a retro fixie bike and attends gnarly skid comps to the pumping sounds of...eva cassidy. She wears chic bike wear with inbuilt reflectors. All looks cool until you hear the spokey dokeys rattling on her wheels. Safety, beauty,...dorky.
Our bicycle doctrine:
Lycra is unacceptable.
Safety first.
Fit not fat.

a bicycle is a wonderful thing! i am very glad for the new surge of cycling that goes on around the cities these days. it is very romantic. it speaks of shiny suns and contented half smiles.
ReplyDeletei love the bicycle doctrine of emblem. i want to live my life by it.
though dare i say i may have an inkling respect for the lycra wearing cyclist? i tip my hat to them or at least nod like a proud father.
i think we should go to Little Creatures on Brunswick and hire their gnarly 2-wheelers and get on about town.
my bike is the cooolest by far. an old thing we found at the apollo bay opshop for like $10 and the boy fixed it up for me for my 22nd birthday. BRIGHT YELLOW. Fixie. Mostly along the lines of the baguettes and beret style, but still lacks a basket.
