Go by bike breakfast: the high point 1

The Go by Bike Breakfast was a blast ... the Frocks were out in all their glory!

A couple of Frocks on Bikes very ably manning (womanning) the Frocks/CAA stand

Practical and uber stylish at the same time

Again an interesting modern twist on a 'Frock' - cool as!

(note for non-kiwis: 'cool as' is a common saying in NZ meaning very cool. The 'as' can also be prefixed with a number of different words, so 'sweet as' means ' very good' for example. I'm not quite sure whether you could get away with 'chic as' meaning 'very chic', but maybe I'll introduce it!)

Gorgeous bicycle chic here - chic as!

This shirt was every bit as bright as the lycra stuff but way more styley! And the bike ... very nice indeed! (Avanti, I believe)


It was very early - but a coffee and a quick fluff of the hair and we were good to go!

These ladies looked superb and were really 'working' the Frock thing!

'Here' or 'there'?

Fully frockilicious!

A flockette of Frocks - all looking lovely!

The 'knot the skirt' technique if you don't have the appropriate chain and mud guards! (A common affliction in NZ).

The Handlebras (a subset of the Frocks) were the stars of the event - each carrying a spare bra on their baskets ... just in case!

It was a media frenzy - more fame with a Frock slot on the TV1 Breakfast show

Exhausted Handlebras at long last getting some breakfast! If you think Helen looks pleased with herself, you'd be right - she'd just won the bike from Avanti - you go girl!

  1. Good points raised in your previous blog! And thanks for a wonderful cross section of Frocks on Bikes pics here. It was a wonderful day - just a feel for what it could be like!

  2. The Handlebras - Love it, and the Pirates of the Caribbean black ensemble gets my vote for chic-as.

  3. Noice! I really dig the styley helmet in the first photo

    The bike belonging to the lady in vermilion is a Specialized Carmel which Avanti sells.
