Tour of California

These last few days you have probably come across the Rapha team tackling 4 stages of the famous 2011 Amgen Tour of California (runs May 15-22) . The videos are amazing and no doubt California is the state to ride, with such a diversity of lanscapes and mind-blowing vistas, it has it all (even the good wine)! I went on the famous coastal road US-1 two months ago and I couldn’t agree more with rider Slate Olson, no need to go to Italy to have amazing roads.

Leather chic

Inspired by the velodrome racers, the new Rapha + Paul Smith Track Gloves are quite good looking. Made from African Hair Sheep leather, the softest available, these gloves are the little luxury ($175) you can bring along a city ride.

New year, new stuff

BAPE cards
The Japanese brand Bathing Ape (BAPE), famous for its flashy design and original artwork, partnered with Bicycle to release one of their new 2011 lifestyle products : a playing card pack. The cards feature graphics inspired by the brand’s new collection.

Rapha Jeans
Especially made for city cyclists, these jeans use a durable nylon-denim blend yarn. They are water repellent, stain-resistant and fast drying. Plus they look really good (more detailed photos here).

Stunning images, nice tale (and voice), inspiring faces, in one word TERRIFIC!
Get yourself a nice cup of coffee and watch.
