Via mixedplateblog I just came across this pretty new online shop by singapore-based creative director thomas yang.

It offers a collection of art prints that feature the passion for cycling. All of the original designs are limited to 100 pieces, each item being watermarked and labeled with the title and edition number.

Cute cycling kits, more info here.

Check out the full range at http://nonavarnado.bigcartel.com or browse the website. Keep an eye out for the new range of next seasons shorts and tool bags, I will be!

Yikes! Came across these on ebay, not sure I’d be in any hurry to rush out and try some. I reckon you could probably do yourself some serious mischief.

And what’s even more disturbing is the guy in ad is without a bike!

Portland’s Rapha has opened a pop-up shop in NYC at 352 Bowery for a few months.

I managed to squeeze in a visit during an action-packed one-week trip to the Big Apple. Though it’s definitely dude-centric, there was a (very) small selection of ladies cycling-wear to check out and lots of cycling eye candy. Rapha aims to build a community while they’re in NYC, and even though daily live screenings of the Tour de France are over, there are rides, movie nights and a cafe to help foster the Rapha love.

Small, but excellent women’s cycling-wear collection

Portland transplants can get their caffeine fix at Rapha’s coffee bar that serves up Stumptown coffee.

Reality Studio recently skipped the traditional catwalk and opted instead to show their latest collection on the streets of Berlin – on bikes! Models donned pieces from the label’s fall/winter collection and cycled around the city center proving that you can be stylish and comfortable on two wheels. The girls toured Berlin on Electra Townie bikes, don’t they look great?
