We're delighted to see this fabulous article by Gear Patrol about our custom built Leikier gents bike.

Gear Patrol is an independently published online journal cited as: 'The definitive resource for the ever-evolving man.' Its Beauty On Two Wheels article by Ben Bowers talks about how the Velorbis Leikier bike was born from the collaboration with Danish designer and blacksmith, Lars Leikier, and inspired by 1950’s motorcycle designs.

"Some things are built to be practical. Other things are meant to simply stun onlookers by the sheer aesthetic awesomeness of their design." Coming from a site authored and followed by 'aspirational and discriminating men with a unique understanding of value, luxury, and singularity', this is true praise indeed.

We spotted this great review of our iconic stunner - Scrap Deluxe ladies bicycle - by Let’s Go Ride a Bike, as part of their ‘Beautiful Bicycles’ series.

Let’s Go Ride a Bike is a fabulous US blog that spreads the pure love of cycling and beautiful design. They believe that life on two wheels should be: “Simple. Stylish. Fun.” We couldn’t agree more!

Praise indeed! Thanks to our friends at London Cycle Chic for their great review of our “devilishly handsome” Churchill Balloon gents bicycle.

Matt Smith, the official Cyclechic chap has been taking it for a regular spin around the busy streets of London. The London Cycle Chic review says that Churchill Balloon "feels smooth, solid, expensive."

Creating the perfect riding experience is what drives Velorbis and our Churchill Balloon gents bike certainly scores top marks.

According to London Cycle Chic, Velorbis Churchill Balloon is "about as far away from bog-standard as you can get. Riding it actually makes you feel different, somehow improved, enhanced, actually pretty cool....when I ride around London Town on my Velorbis I get looked at, pointed at, talked to, admired, even revered. That is a pretty remarkable effect when you think about it, for what is after all only a bike (I’m not vain or stupid enough to think it has anything to do with me by the way). And it’s the main reason I love it and recommend it to all the people who stop me and ask me about it."

Velorbis loves London. It’s great to hear that Londoners also love Velorbis and that Churchill Balloon is bringing a touch of chilled, chic, cycling style to its streets.

Check out this excellent review of our fabulously funky Student Balloon gents bike in the February-March issue of The Bicycle Buyer magazine on page 2.

The Bicycle Buyer is a leading UK consumer publication that offers readers a smart, inspirational guide for buying bicycles. The article "Styles for Miles" features in-depth reviews and comparative test rides of classic bikes available in the UK:

"And while they’ve been a holiday snap friendly feature of Dutch and Scandinavian society for decades they’ve been slow to catch on here in Britain, with possibly the notable exceptions of Oxford and Cambridge. But things are changing, discerning ladies and gents are starting to snap up these beautiful bikes, which they can gently spin around town with the minimum amount of fuss and still in their glad rags."

In the round up at the end (page 8), we’re pleased to say that Student Balloon is voted pick of the bunch.

It’s great to see that the UK’s love affair with chic cycling culture and vintage style bicycles is blooming.

KidStyleFile, Australia’s first and best resource dedicated to finding beautiful premium children’s products, has spotted the Velorbis Mobii trike and immediately seen its benefits for safe (and fun) family friendly transportation.

As the KidStyleFile article mentions, in Denmark it’s not unusual for a person to go through life without ever possessing a car, such is the strength and popularity of its design heritage and cycling culture. A tricycle is a great investment that in the long-term pays for itself and eliminates the need for fuel. According to KidStyleFile, Velorbis Mobii is "perfect for families" – those who are serious about adopting a green lifestyle.

Australia is famous for its healthy citizens and outdoor lifestyle. It’s no surprise that the chic and healthy influence from Copenhagen cycling culture, and great Danish design, is being adopted country-wide.
