\n\"How
\n 
\nWith all of its bike lanes and easy-to-navigate neighbourhoods, Berlin is a cyclist’s dream. And even if\u00a0the metropolis\u00a0does boast a pretty convenient transit system, there’s nothing quite like pulling up to your destination on a set of two chromed-out wheels.\u00a0The city\u00a0is full of riders who refuse to sacrifice style for comfort,\u00a0and every\u00a0cycler has their own set of tricks that\u00a0ensure the only thing out of place is an\u00a0effortlessly messy, windswept ‘do.
\nWe asked\u00a0five Berlin creatives how they maintain personal style while wheeling around town. From rain-proof riding to heightened hems, read below for their advice on keeping bike style as breezy as your morning commute.

Tain\u00e1 Guedes, CEO and founder at\u00a0Entretempo Kitchen Gallery<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"How Tain\u00e1 Guedes<\/p>\n

“Loop the kimono through a belt”<\/h3>\n

 
\nWith a collection of bellowing\u00a0kimonos that\u00a0has the potential to make every girl at Coachella envious, Tain\u00e1 Guedes\u00a0has become a pro at\u00a0cycling no matter how flowing her\u00a0ensemble may be. “I love the carefree look of a draping kimono,” says Guedes, “but I don’t want to have to worry about it getting caught during my ride.”
\nThe savvy\u00a0gallerist is full of advice for\u00a0fellow boho-lovers, revealing the convenience that a cinched belt provides. “If i’m wearing a belt, I can\u00a0loop the kimono through it for security. Otherwise, I just tie both ends in\u00a0a loose knot until I’ve reached my destination.”

Winston Chmielinski<\/a>, artist<\/h2>\n

\"How Winston Chmielinski<\/p>\n

“I love bundling”<\/h3>\n

 
\nWhen it comes to winters\u00a0in Berlin, the weather can feel worse than the forecast on Game of Thrones. Summer disappears after a mere four weeks, and blue skies quickly turn into\u00a0snowy\u00a0disasters. For Winston Chmielinski, however, not even a Berlin blizzard can\u00a0put the brakes on his love for bikes.
\n“I love bundling,” says Chmielinski. “I actually feel really good about myself when I emerge in the late-AM darkness looking like a pillow and duvet set.” Rather than throwing on any old hoodie, the artist is just as innovative\u00a0with layering as he is with art. Mixing prints, textures and colours, Chmielinski isn’t afraid to be daring \u2013 so\u00a0long as he’s adequately covered.

\"How Gloria Cardona<\/p>\n

“It’s all about positioning your skirt so that it’s flat against the seat”<\/h3>\n

 
\nA major fan of Man Repeller’s no pants movement, Gloria Cardona knows the struggles of\u00a0biking in a skirt. Luckily, she’s picked up a few tricks along the way to ensure no one has the opportunity to label her\u00a0a flasher. “It’s all about positioning your skirt so that it’s flat against the seat during your\u00a0ride. Also, gathering the fabric and securing it between your legs with a bobby pin and hair tie creates a pair of faux pants if you want to be 100% safe.”

Yildau ter Beek and Bianca Bellani, gallery assistants at Entretempo Kitchen Gallery<\/h2>\n

\"How Yildau ter Beek and Bianca Bellani<\/p>\n

Athleisure!<\/a><\/h3>\n

 
\nYildau ter Beek and Bianca Bellani agree that biking in style is more about preparedness than keeping up with the latest trends. Both cyclers are never caught off their guard, and each of them admits to toting around everything from an eye-catching rain jacket to a cozy beanie during their daily commute. “I always try to find a balance between staying stylish and biking with ease. Athleticwear has become really big these days, which makes biking on-trend a lot more convenient.”

Further tips:<\/h2>\n

\"How
\n 
\n- How to cuff your trousers with the pin roll<\/a><\/strong>: The first step is to grab the inside of your trousers’ leg and fold it over towards the outside so that it’s neat and tight to the shin. Then while holding it tight, fold it upwards by a few inches so that the fold stays secure and it won’t get tangled up during your ride.
\n– Cycling doesn’t mean having to abandon the leggy look of heels\u00a0altogether. Ditch the\u00a0skinny stilettos<\/strong>, though, and opt for thicker styles\u00a0and\u00a0platforms instead<\/strong>.
\n– Jump on the\u00a0reflective and new new-rave<\/a> trends<\/strong> for style that\u00a0keeps you safe. We like the SS17 men’s collection from Landlord<\/a>.
\n– Always carry a plastic shopping bag<\/strong> to tie over the seat when you park the bike under the rain, so you don’t reach your next destination with a wet bum.
\n– In terms of fabrics for winter wool<\/strong> is a great option as it keeps you warm while drawing perspiration away from the body.
\n– If you don’t want to carry a backpack and don’t have a basket consider attaching a rack<\/a> above your front wheel<\/strong>, so you never lose sight of your prized belongings, because big cities.
