So good!
All photos: Red Dots Cycling




Yesterday's business meeting to beautiful Montreal was so good that we have added a new supplier! Since our big move, it's been very positive for us to be closer to our suppliers. And, visiting Montreal has become a fun ritual. Coffee is one of our favorite drinks and Montreal is nicely 'crowded' with great cafes with superb espresso.



Looking forward to trying this strong coffee from
Cafe Brossard.

A fun Friday it is...


Carolle and I made a special delivery of custom caps for Bicycle Craft Brewery. We had the opportunity to meet Laura and her crew and, of course, enjoy a flight. Amazing beer but if I had a choice, my favorite is their Velocipede India Pale Ale. In fact, we got a growler of beer -  but more on that later, check back soon on my cyclingart blog. If you are in the Ottawa area, drop over meet the friendly staff, take advantage of some amazing beer and check out the new batch of custom cycling caps at Bicycle Craft Brewery!





















After delivering caps, my reward!




Please note: Take advantage of our limited time Free Shipping, now on, on all in-stock caps. It won't last for long!

Seeing Red Dots and Checkerboards.

According to every supplier we talked to, these two fabrics are no longer available. Montreal is the type of city if you look hard enough you'll most likely find what you are looking for. Here's what we happily discovered from our Montreal trip. If you guessed right, you WILL see the fabrics in two future caps... very soon!

our production!

Here’s an update of our adventure…

We’ve moved the shop 4600 kms east. Leaving the scenic beauty and our friends of Vancouver was a hard choice. For us to grow the business we needed to have space  and we wanted to embrace a simpler lifestyle… and the Ottawa Valley seems to be the ideal choice. It has beautiful nature, plenty of space, quaint little towns smack in the middle to our suppliers in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal.

 It was an eventful move but we are happy to announce… our shop is up and running.

And, for a limited time free shipping on all of our in-stock cycling caps continues!

Mail service continues & Happy Bastille Day



Here's the latest update from Canada Post and it's very good news...

No Canada Post Service Disruptions as Negotiations Continue.
Canada Post has withdrawn its lockout notice that was scheduled to take effect on Monday, July 11. As a result, there will be NO service disruption at this time and we expect mail service to continue without interruption as negotiations continue. As a result, Canada Post services, including shipments into Canada from other national carriers, like USPS and Royal Mail, will not be interrupted while negotiations continue.

The Summer's in full swing and if you haven't ordered one of our cycling caps, it's the time... and Free Shipping on all in-stock caps are on us!

Happy shopping!



Also...



Happy Bastille Day in France! The riders will conquer Mont Ventoux.

TGIF: We're Back with some changes

at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

We're back…

Over the past few weeks we have been talking of restructuring our business. Not only restructuring our business… we also have moved to Ontario! It was a sudden decision to move and we’ve prepared the best we could in a short time we had but what really added to our stress is the possible lockout/strike from Canada Post. At this point we are extremely happy to announce Canada Post has extended their negotiations for the time being. That means, for now, shipping resumes as usual. And we continue with Free Shipping!

Unfortunately, we are unable to resume custom orders production until July 15.


In the mean time, go ahead and place your order!
