Bicycle Rider

This morning I’m going for a bike ride. To the post office. To post a postcard with Prince William, Kate Middleton and a Union Jack on it to my friend in Germany. I’ll be dragging my pride and joy, with its squeaky front wheel, broken bell (ssssh, I don’t think that’s allowed), twice repaired brakes, replaced pedal, and wonky handlebars (this would be a good time to wish me a safe journey) out of the garage for my first ride of the summer. But before this momentous event happens, I had a chance to find some dreamy cyclewear that’s best shared with friends. Let’s become bike nerds together!

Representing a comprehensive cross-section of the cycling world, Dark Cycle Clothing’s t-shirts prove, once again, that being on a bike really is for everyone. But as the saying goes ‘Different strokes for different folks’ Dark Cycle similarly suggest ‘Different bikes for different…….types……of species’. It semi works.

But in the world of cycling there are some important considerations to make. Are you going to be a practical biker, … Read more
