TGIF: Kid's Custom Cycling Caps: Bicycling, New Caps Available At Hors Categorie

Bicycling, December issue.

Hey kids! Why do grown ups have all the fun wearing our stylish cycling caps? No longer.

Once again we are in Bicycling magazine - this time in the December issue, 'Kit 'Em Up.' Now, kids can wear our handmade cycling caps because kids love to bike and look good doing it. Our regular cycling caps are available in two sizes (S/M & M/L). However, we have also made kids cycling caps. And after going through many test trials to determine sizing, we have come up with one universal size for our kid's cap...

Our kid's sizing: XS (19.5 - 21 inches).

Of course, our kid's cycling caps are made exactly the same as our grown up caps with attention to detail crafted using quality materials. It's a tinier version of our regular sized caps.

Depending upon fabric availability, we can make most of the caps we have in our online shop. Cost is the same. Currently, production time for all custom caps is 4 weeks. Just convo me with your choice of cap and please include a second choice: info@reddotscycling.ca

A new shipment of caps arrived at Hors Categorie, Montreal...

Rolling On with Winter Caps in The McMaster Rolling Seminar!

Caffeinated & Rolling On!

Yesterday I passed along three winter cycling caps to Thomas of Musette Caffe...

A wonderful gesture from Thomas for he is now in Hamilton as part of Coffee & Bikes @Mac The McMaster Rolling Seminar: La Vie Velo. He is invited to speak to the business students of McMaster University.

The other key note speakers are Krys Hines (Cafe Domestique), Andrew Randell (Jet Fuel Coffee) & Dan Dankin (editor of Canadian Cycling Magazine). We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to showcase our handmade winter caps among the cycling savy folks of Ontario. Thomas is giving his speech today.

Thomas is unique and has an amazing concept business going in Vancouver: he's partnered up with Kevin of Raiment Cycling Clothing and has THE bike-friendly cafe ever. Of course, we are honored to be part as a supplier. And we see a very good growing relationship with Kevin and Thomas.

Thomas will pass along the three winter caps and we trust that the caps will be well appreciated especially in the Ontario winter!

Sprinting towards a winter cap finish

Sometimes things don't go entirely to plan, or so it seems.

We just finished our rubber madness production and will have to delay the launch of our new designs for, hopefully, a few days. Our winter cycling caps are selling very well. And we are thinking it's partly due from the excellent press we have from Bicycling Magazine. 

We have just over 2-weeks remaining before our big Christmas show, Make It! So, that means we have to make one last winter cycling cap run to replenish stocks. Carolle's already in the serger phase, listening to her favorite music/radio episodes on her iPod. 

Time to sprint towards a winter cap finish!

Chapeau! Brits Winter Cycling Cap in Bicycling Magazine

November issue of Bicycling...

Today's a great day...

We finally have our hands on the November issue of Bicycling Magazine!

That means we have a hardcopy issue, that's right we're old school, of the famous magazine showcasing our Brits Winter Cycling Cap! It's on page 34 under the appropriate headline....

CHAPEAU!

We couldn't be happier and proud to be included in the '12 Stylish Cycling Caps.' 

Thanks to Jennifer Sherry, senior editor at Bicycling Magazine, who contacted us back in August for a sample cap for consideration. They planned a one-page fall/winter cycling cap article for November. 

It was fate. Bear in mind this was August and we had only one winter cap left in stock. So, we shipped off our Brits winter cap made of 100% British Superfine Wool. This one is unique, so unique we proudly sew in an authentic label on the inside of the cap.  

Chapeau!

...CHAPEAU! we're number 4!

TGIF: Locomotive Clothing, Bicycling & Thanks-Giving!

TGIF, and for a good reason...

It has been a very busy week at Red Dots Cycling HQs as we're fully in our rubber inner tube production. Carolle is busy on the sewing machine and I'm feeling a little under the weather, nursing a cold. However, I'm managing the all engrossing computer work which is enough for me.


Last evening, we had a wonderful meeting with Aaron and Jay of Locomotive Clothing Co. They are a local clothing company offering unique and very original designs on screenprinted tshirts and clothing. I had met Jay on a recent FRFuggitivi Sunday ride and, of course, we chatted about what we both do. Call it serendipity. Last week, a potential client emailed us about producing cycling caps, with their logo of their cycling team. Enter Locomotive Clothing and the picture suddenly got better. We are in the early stages and a collaboration is in the works.

Thanks to Jennifer Sherry for the fantastic feature, '12 Stylish Cycling Caps' on Bicycling.com showcasing our Brits winter cycling cap. Today, Michael from the US purchased the Red Hunting wool cap and left this wonderful comment ...

Saw the shop on Bicycling Magazine. I've been looking for a gorgeous cap like this for years.

The full feature will be in November's issue of Bicycling Magazine. We can't wait to get our copy!


We will be enjoying Thanksgiving long weekend and Monday is our holiday, so that means orders won't be ship until Tuesday.


Have a very good riding weekend everyone!
