Le Maillot Vert 1982 & Cooked! Gap-L'Alpe d'Huez 1991.

by Cyclingart

I'm very excited to offer my Cycling Art prints at Sunday's July 1st, Canada Day Craft Fair in Waterfront Park, North Vancouver!

These are just two prints, but I'll have a few different ones to offer. And, with the Tour de France beginning Saturday, a perfect time to launch them. We print them with archival inks on archival paper (13 X 19") unframed. Included in each print is a Certificate of Authenticity signed by me!

We are proud to show off our latest custom cap...

Our customer wanted a custom black cap with a bold white stripe. We suggested the stripe going right to the brim and boy it turned out very nicely!

We decided to start a custom cycling cap post, to show you all the fun designs and to interest you that we love to make custom caps. If you have a design for yourself or one for your riding group. Just email us with your questions.

Sunny Day with New Products for the MECBikefest

The weather for Saturday's MECBikefest called for thundershowers...

Remembering last years show, I told Carolle to bundle up (with peacoat/blundstones) to get ready for a rainy day. I had on my winter hoodie and vest avec blunnies. Thankfully, it never happened, no rain but welcoming sunny skies and warm temperatures. Of course, I overdressed and curse not wearing my 3/4 shorts.

Ahoy Me Hearties!

Perhaps, that's why we notice a lack of folks attending the event compare to last year.

The excitement of starting our first show of the season snapped us into frenzy mode as we eagerly set up our table with new products. Now, I can finally mention our new rubber inner tube products; the reversible belt, lite rider id wallet, telefono wallet & multi-use rubber key chain. As of now, they are only available during the craft shows, but, we plan to sell them online very soon.

Huge Thanks go the MECBikefest crew for putting on a good show and to the sponsors for providing bananas and chocolate!

Look ...no rain but new products!

MECBikefest: Last Minute Prep

Our lead up to tomorrow's MECBikefest has been anything but restful. It seems we're busy right up to the day with last minute preparation of printing labels, signage and finishing another new recycled rubber inner tube product. The craft shows are a good launching point for new products, so I can't divulge what our new products are. Here's a hint: a brand new cycling cap will be avaliable!

We'll have fun, practical new products on hand. And, I'm always checking online what the weather gods  have in store for us tomorrow. So far, it will be cloudy with a hint of rain. That may sound depressing but the good news is, MEC organizers always make the day sunny with plenty of fun in store.

If you can make it, we hope to see you tomorrow,

So bring it on... it's going to be fun!

maillot à pois rouges: Richard Virenque

Take that! 

Boyish fun with teammate Luc Leblanc, 1994 TdF.

via pedalare!pedalare!

Richard Virenque won the stage to Luz-Ardiden effectively winning the mountains competition of the 1994 Tour. This is the start of his record breaking seven KOMs victories. He was a French favorite because of his boyish personality and long, lone attacks.

Riding Towards the MEC Bikefest!

This Saturday is our first show of the season....

We're very excited to be back at the MEC Bikefest! It's an important event for us, we've worked with rubber inner tubes in new ways and we have many new products to show. The products are so new they're not offer on our website. We'll have our regular products available and... you'll just have to come over to see what else we have!

This fun MEC Bikefest is all about the celebration of the bicycle in Vancouver and we'll be part of the Bikefest Marketplace. Located in the plaza in Athlete's Village beside the Creekside Community Centre a block off the Ontario Bikeway from 10:00am - 3:00pm.

Jimenez was splendid where it counted in the high mountains

wearing the polka dot jersey for five days finishing

second in the KOMs classification!
