Velorbis has entered the sports bike market – following requests from our customers – with our unique interpretation of the "fixie" style bike. Meet the Velorbis Arrow gents bike.

Reflecting the uncompromising design style, attitude and attention to detail synonymous with all of our bicycles, Velorbis Arrow has been designed for urban commuters who are seeking a second bike for the occasions when they need to get to their destinations a little bit faster. Just like choosing a high-speed sports car to join the main family car, or buying designer sportswear as an addition to corporate workwear.

The Velorbis Arrow has been created to complement (and balance) our main range of classic comfort bicycles. It is speedy, streamlined and slick, and weighs in at around 12kgs. It has a black lugged steel frame, is available in three frame sizes, and features luxurious brown leather accessories. We have also designed a dark brown leather messenger bag to accompany it.

As the saying goes; "Make time fly like an arrow". Now you can with the Velorbis Arrow.

We are delighted to announce that Velorbis has arrived in Canada, joining the exclusive CycleCouture bicycle boutique, which opens on 1st April 2011 on 926 College Street in Toronto, to cater for the growing demand for chic urban cycling.

CycleCouture is a wonderful match for the Velorbis spirit and brand ethos – as echoed by the inspiration behind the CycleCouture store: "Press rewind. Backpedal your mind to those first times you felt the wind in your face as you rode your bike around the block. Bicycles create freedom. They create memories. A bike ride allows you to take in your environment and truly appreciate your surroundings. Here at CycleCouture, we have created an atmosphere that embodies all of the above."

Velorbis was showcased at the recent Toronto International Bicycle Show on the CycleCouture stand (see photo below), which generated a lot of positive interest from visitors to the show and also the Press.

CycleCouture was also featured in the article: "CycleCouture brings Copenhagen cycling to Toronto" by the influential local online magazine Postcity.com.

We have received this fantastic review by Helen Pidd in The Guardian UK, who has been cycling around her new home town of Berlin on one of our effortlessly chic Velorbis Victoria Balloon bicycles.

Chic cosmopolitan cycling is also popular in Berlin, and as with many beautiful European cities, navigating the cobble stones (whether in stilettos or on two wheels) can be tricky. This is where balloon tyres come in handy. It’s like having the comfort of a pair of cool trainers on, while the overall look is pure city slick.

In the article 'On the road: Velorbis Victoria Balloon', our bicycle is described as "a real beauty" with "tyres as fat as three bratwursts, which not only make light work of all lumps and bumps, but are also too wide to get stuck in the tramlines that criss-cross the former east of my new city."

The Velorbis Victoria Balloon bicycle is designed to be ultra-weather friendly. The Guardian journalist Helen Pidd says: "It's both beautiful and indestructible. If you are forced to keep your poor bike out in the cold, this is a model that says, 'It's OK, don't worry about me.'"

For all gents out there, the Velorbis Victoria Balloon also has a partner in crime: the Velorbis Churchill Balloon bicycle.

We are delighted to see that one of our Velorbis bicycles has been chosen as the top prize in MINI’s latest competition: the MINI Space Locomotion! design competition.

MINI Space is an urban initiative by MINI – the famous car brand that is as iconic today as it was in the 1950s – celebrating the creative use of space. MINI Space is a hub for connecting like-minded creative people, through projects, competitions, events and parties.

With its latest movement-themed competition Locomotion!, "MINI Spacers" are invited to capture images expressing movement, taking inspiration from their surroundings (photos, illustrations, or graphic designs).

Velorbis owners embrace the same attitude for life. They are always on the move, taking inspiration from the sights and sounds of their surroundings, and seeing the beauty in the urban landscape as they leisurely cruise, or whizz, by. The only difference is that Velorbis owners do so from the vantage point of two chic wheels, whereas MINI Spacers do so from four chic wheels.

Find out more about MINI Space’s exciting Locomotion! design competition and the chance to win a Velorbis bicycle. The competition deadline is Thursday, 17th March 2011.
