Many cycling fans know Laurent Brochard for one reason and one reason only. Despite a long and successful career, fans can often recall Brochard in the peloton by pointing to one very distinctive element of his appearance. Those most distinctive visual elements in all of professional cycling: The rainbow stripes of World Champion on the [...]

We are currently putting together the team kit design for the Double Century this year which has lead me (the designer in the group) to do a bt of research online and it’s always amazed me how cyclists (especially roadies) who on the face of it seemed obsessed with being cool and stylish (and scoff [...]

Apart from the fact that this concept sounds truly amazing, although the potential for getting it wrong is massive, this article contains the best name of a company ever. Deep Local. From Gadget Review: Toyota Prius Project Concept “PXP” Bike A bike that shifts gears using your mind…ludicrous, right? Think again. Toyota Prius Projects teamed [...]

2 weeks ago on a road ride, I clipped my mate’s wheel and ended up with mild concussion and a nice headache for 6 days. And a split helmet. Then a week later I saw someone cruising down Constantia Nek without a helmet and it makes me so angry! I just don’t get why you [...]

If you’re looking for something to accompany that photo of you on your desk with your arm around Eddy Merckx, that one where you ambushed him in at the 2009 Tour as he walking away from a TV interview and he has this slightly surprised expression on his face….wait, I’m digressing.

Bad Cycling Logo Of The Month. Bad bad bad. Don’t know about the product as I’ve never seen them or tried them, so can’t speak for their effectiveness. Anyone? via moonsaddle.com  

I’m skeptical, but maybe they’re onto something. Although I’m not convinced about the logo either. One Good Earbud mixes both stereo channels of your iPod or MP3 player into one ear. This allows you to enjoy all of your music and still keep an ‘ear open’ for cars, pedestrians or cyclists. It works with stereo [...]

News has come in that Morvélo has designed a range of official t-shirts for the Tour de France 2011  and I love them!! I’m a big fan of them having learnt of them at the London Cycle Show last year and already have a couple of their t-shirts. The Ride Tour de France range is [...]

Regardless of what you think of Rapha or the people wearing it, you can’t deny Rapha have a beautiful style and romanticism about them. And they make lovely (expensive) kit. Now from Rapha comes this beautifully shot film about rediscovering the love of riding, not for racing or distance, but rather the journey. A very [...]

Not really my style, but if you like the BMW M series and it didn’t quite come in on budget, then this new M Carbon Racer might be a nice alternative. And more eco-friendly too. Although sans that lovely sounding exhaust noise. So while it doesn’t have a front bumper intake and rear exhaust manifold [...]

Interesting concept, although it’s not going to win any awards for compactness. Great set of mutton chops though. And a classic comment from a certain “bluewker”… “ITS HIGH AND EXPENSIVE! THROW ROCKS AT IT”. Indeed.

This looks interesting. You can create a personal surround sound with this action-sports-friendly speaker: “Mobile music typically means listening through headphones, dangerously isolating yourself from others and your environment. The Tunebug Shake is an ultra-portable sound generator that can be connected to iPods, MP3 players or mobile phones or used wirelessly using Bluetooth®. When mounted [...]

Not bad Bonthrone Bikes, not bad. I quite like it. Quirky and different.

To celebrate the launch of the “Trainerspotter X Puma SkyHi II for Size?” Puma and Trainerspotter have collaborated on a 1 off signature bike.  Just like the Puma Sky the bicycle is an already existing Puma model and has been coloured with a nod to the collaboration sneaker which took reference from Trainerspotter’s aesthetic influence, [...]
