PEDALING THROUGH HISTORY: 150 YEARS OF THE BICYCLE.

PODIUM PERKS.
The sport of cycling has its royalty, with all the fanfare, fans bare and tributes that come with it. And while we all know that podiums may crumble and kings can fall, companies (and the buying public) love a winner.
FRENCH CYCLE CHIC.
Although now retired, former road racer, Marion Rousse, is an icon for all things French + cycling + women who race. She’s now working for Eurosport and continues to be married to cycling in every possible way (husband Tony Gallopin). How does the average French woman dress to ride? With the help of several […]
VIVE LE TOUR.
Final day for ProDEALS of the Tour. We have LOVED this year’s Tour de France and its many surprising moments. Peter Sagan’s latest “rocky” video…Chris Froome dancing on the pavement…spectator belt deflategate. It’s sad to see it end and we’re already thinking ahead to next year. In the meantime, you have a few hours left […]

Polka dots signifying the King/Queen of the Mountain – wherever did this come from?

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE?
Eyes in the back of your head – wishful thinking for a cyclist (come on evolution, help us out here). We all know how vulnerable we are on the road. We wear bright clothing, seek out quiet roads, always ride single file and obey the rules of the road. BUT, we are still vulnerable to […]
