Bicycle Style

Owning a vintage bicycle doesn't’ mean you have to sacrifice style for the good old days in any way - in fact there are plenty of adorable accessories that can make your bicycling days even more fun.

One of the best ways to start when it comes to making your bicycle fun and stylish is with the overall look of your bicycle. If you have a vintage bicycle this can be fairly easy to accomplish with just a bit of paint and some cleaning. Retro colors like blues and yellows and pinks in the pastel shades as well as white handlebars and wheels are a very popular and fun look to give your bicycle when you’re changing up it’s style. It’s also fun to invest in some white tires for your bicycle to give it a little bit of extra flair. It can also be a lot of fun to add a design to your bicycle like stripes or polka dots or simply give it a two-tone look for extra fun. If you aren’t comfortable painting your bicycle or you’re afraid you might ruin it then invest a little money in having a professional paint it on for you and make sure that it will last for a long time despite all weather conditions and wear and tear it might experiences.

Many people also add baskets and saddlebags to their bicycles not only for convenience but also for design and fashion. Baskets and bags can be a cute way to display fun fabrics as well as hold on to your valuables while you’re biking and if you feel like getting crafty or creative you can make baskets and bags in your own patterns to match your bike perfectly.

Another cute way to accessorize your bicycle is to add seat covers or handlebar decorations that match the rest of your bicycle and fit the era from which it was made. Many people find it fun to redecorate and recover a bicycle seat with interesting fabric or fun patterns that blend well with the colors they’ve painted and if you do it just right you can also make a big difference in comfortable the seat is over your bicycle.

Little things can make a big difference when it comes to the look and feel of your bicycle so don’t skimp when it comes to the details. Things like updating or getting a new bell, making sure any lights on your bicycle are clean and fresh looking, as well as making sure that you give your bicycle a general wash every now and then can make all he difference as to whether or not it looks cute. Take time to wash out any baskets and to toss your saddle bags in the washer every so often to keep them looking fresh and shiny. Doing all of these things can help keep your bike looking adorable all year round.
