Happy New Year!






2013 was extremely exciting for us. The highlight was acquiring our new embroidery machine and able to offer embroidered cycling caps. We have many cycling cap projects on the drawing board and we look forward to riding forward into 2014. 

Thank you to our many customers that have helped shape us into who we are today.

Happy New Year!

We are pleasantly surprise to discover that we had a huge spike of folks looking into our shop during November.

In fact, our popular L'Enfer du Nord wool winter cycling cap literally flew off our shelves. Since then, we are hurrying to re-stock those shelves.


So, it's even nicer when folks write about us without letting us know. Thanks to this article, 'The Procrastinator's Guide to Winter Bicycle Commuting'....
