You may remember from one of my blogs last summer that 2010 was the year I took up city cycling. Nearly one year on and not only am I hooked, I’ve started venturing on long distance (well, long for me) cycles from city to city.
Yesterday my friends and I cycled from Stirling to Glasgow, around 30 miles in total, with a few stops along the way. But despite my love for bikes I am reluctant to embrace lycra leggings (see last months blog) or chunky messenger bags. Instead, yesterday I opted for the, slightly more stylish, Squander pants, which look like jeans and feel like leggings and are super comfy to cycle in, paired with the Sea Stripe tunic. I finished things off with my Rock Climber rucksack, which was big enough to fit my lunch, two cameras, water bottle, repair kit, waterproof jacket, my Signature hoody, phone, bike lights and sunglasses. What more could you need?
I was a bit nervous to start off with, as this was the first time I’ve cycled such a long distance, but despite a few big hills that nearly killed me I had a great time. The sun shone for us all day, we saw some amazing wildlife and picnicked at the top of a hill looking out toward the Scottish coastline, before cycling home along a canal, where we stopped of for a cheeky beer. Perfect.
By the time we returned to Glasgow that evening I didn’t feel tired, I felt amazing! And we’re already planning our next tip.
Summer has only just started, so why not plan your own cycling adventure?

Pulling out the shorts once again.. and this time styling them up with pops of color!
This season was all about color and print, so the Fifty-Fifty shorts were paired with the pomegranate colored Signature tank, and layered with theKimono Blouse. To keep the pops going.. add some bright shades and pair the look with throw in sneakers.

Spring and Summer brings music festival season.. and with that we get killer style prancing through fields, rocking out to live music and sitting poolside.
Coachella kicks off the festival style we all crave.. so I thought.. why not use the Quiksilver collection to create looks inspired by the beauties of Coachella.
