A new-season fashion joyride into spring

What to wear when riding a bike? While serious cyclists (and for some reason, your amateur dad) may prefer a particular Lycra-clad uniform, the rise of electric bikes for commuting and getting around town requires something that's practical without sacrificing fun - and style. In bike-friendly European cities like Copenhagen, the Danes have nailed this exact dilemma, and inspired our own local spin on commuter-chic.

Fortunately there are plenty of options to consider from local designers' new-season spring collections, worn by Mia and Tia on a golden hour joyride around the suburban streets on their equally stylish e-bikes.

Sporty gas station sunnies are an optional accessory, but always remember to wear a helmet when riding a bike, and know the road rules before you head out. NZTA has some helpful guidelines for riding an e-bike safely.
