LOUNGE APPEAL
PEDAL POWER Have you always wanted to commute by bike, but were wary of urban cycling? The Greater Victoria Bike to Work Week runs from May 25 to 31, and along with celebration stations around town and the commuter challenge, a friendly race between a cyclist and a driver, the week promotes urban cycling skills courses — 70 per cent of adults feel safer riding their bikes in traffic after taking a class and 75 per cent find themselves riding more often. If sartorial concerns are keeping you off your bike, riding to work doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style. Cycling’s growing popularity means there are plenty of accessories with flair, such as this dapper pannier by Hill & Ellis. Available at Le Vé lo Victoria.
Along with the warm weather comes the desire to relax in the great outdoors. The Cacoon hanging chair can be used in your own backyard or even taken on your next beach or camping trip. Available at Capital Iron.
