Toronto Verve Velo Edition

verve (vûrv) N.

Definition:
1. Energy and enthusiasm in the expression of ideas, especially in artistic performance or composition:

Call it Cycle Chic or Velo Voyeurism, regardless of the definition, for the past two years Nigel Hamid has been pairing names to random yet familiar faces of stylish men and women on the streets of Toronto. His website Toronto Verve, captures the raw beauty of street style and features some "sartorialistic" portraits of Torontonians on their bicycles.

Stefani

Catherine

Amber

Stefani, Catherine and Amber are simply a taste of the Street Style captured on Toronto Verve, however they also help to define the menu of Torontonians that ride in style.

We look forward to featuring more of Nigel in the future here on 416cyclestyle and on Torontobikechic.com

You might drop your phone.

Use Somebody...

"I've been roaming around,
I was looking down at all I see
Painted faces
fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody...

Someone like you"
