If you are looking for a stylish way to get around Melbourne in your organic threads, then you might want to check out The Humble Vintage.
Owner Matt Hurst started The Humble Vintage in mid-2009 after travelling overseas. He found that the easiest way to get around as a visitor to a city was to cycle. When he returned to Melbourne, he found that our city was lacking a stylish, affordable bicycle hire system.
So, The Humble Vintage was born. Matt has a beautiful collection of vintage bikes, all with gears, so you aren’t huffing and puffing in your fabulous vintage dress as you pedal up Swanston St. One look at his blog shows how proud he is of his them, too.
If you want to discover Melbourne and are looking to avoid the lycra scene, I recommend that you give Matt a call.
