At the beginning of this week Chris and I left our bikes, packed our bags and flew to the land of kangaroos (of which I haven’t see any yet) to meet with our upside down cycling friends and enjoy Christmas in the sunshine.

Yesterday we headed into Melbourne to check out the cycle scene there and do some “research” (a.k.a shopping sssh!).

It was  good to see such an upsurgence here in not only people riding bicycles but also the amount of bicycle inspired consumer goods which in turn create awareness of bicycles and give me an excuse to buy shiny things. I’m loving my new ‘gold nut and pearl’ earrings (pictured) from Glint by Mich bought for $35 in Lenko Boutique that also came in the most fantastic take-a-way chic packaging!!

However, the mass marketing of bicycle related goods can go too far and it is always worrying when you see cycles on sale for ‘$99 when you spend $199′ or more in store as in the picture below taken of high street store ‘Industry’.

All CYCLODELIC orders now come wrapped especially for Christmas!!  Now your order will come ready to go under the tree upon its arrival.

CYCLODELIC is also proud to announce that all of our packaging is now 100% degradable! The packaging that your order will be shipped in contains the biodegradable additive Biothene.  This provides a green alternative to the majority of the bags on the market.

Looking for something to keep you warm and stylish whilst cycling this winter?  Cyclodelic’s exclusive Magpie and Cog printed scarves are 100% silk making them soft against the skin, and naturally temperature regulating.  Not only do our scarves wick away perspiration, but they also keep you cool when its hot and hot when its cool!

Designed by London based textile artist Sarah Buck and digitally printed for a perfect finish in the UK. The scarves New larger size makes them ideal to wear around the neck on a crisp winter day or to keep you ears snug and hair frizz free in wet weather, you can even tie under your helmet to eliminate hat hair! Click here to buy your silk scarf in time for Christmas!

At Cyclodelic we know how difficult it can be to find clothes that mix fashion and function for cycling, especially on long rides.  Sometimes you just can’t go out without your padded shorts ad lycra bottoms and this is what inspired us to design the ‘Sports Dress’. Our ‘Canopy’ dress top comes in silky plum polyester spandex or supportive midnight polyester cotton lycra. Fitted over the bust and flowing over the hips they also feature thumb holes in the sleeves and studded pockets. Both fabrics wick sweat, dry quickly, and let you wear comfy padded shorts without anyone having to know!

CYCLODELIC was featured in yesterday’s edition of the Independent. Our Kimono Jacket was mentioned in Simon Usborne’s  column as one of the Top 10 Best Bike Accessories to have this winter.

If you were not already aware, CYCLODELIC only uses bamboo jersey in the production of our reflective screen printed T shirts.  We source our t shirts from the pioneers of certified organic printing.  Based in Bath, our printers were the Soil Association’s first certified organic T shirt printer.

For a T shirt to be certified organic every input must be recorded of its production from seed to a finished garment, so that the finished product is fully traceable.  This ensures that there has been no contamination and that the T shirt is 100% organic.

At CYCLODELIC our T shirts are only produced from bamboo jersey.  There are many benefits to wearing bamboo clothing.  For one, it is softer than cotton and feels similar to silk.  It is naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic.  Bamboo fabric is quick to absorb moisture, keeping you dry and odor free no matter the weather.

Production of organic clothing has a significantly lower impact on the environment than conventional methods.  Check out our Reflective Bamboo T shirts as well as our Reflective Gift set, and make your contribution to the environment!

We are pleased to inform you that we have updated the lining of our beloved Saddle Bags!  The new lining is 100% cotton and is sourced from a UK design house. It features an abstract design from a painting of beautiful orchids.  Make sure you order one of these handmade must-haves in time for Christmas!
