Velorbis recently took part at the Cycle Chic Fashion Show at Cork City Hall, Ireland; the event where cycling, fashion and design were entwined as one concept.

The Cycle Chic Fashion Show, held annually during Design Week in Ireland, effectively showcased cycling culture and highlighted just how practical, green and affordable cycling is as a green transportation option. It reflected the spirit and street style from the cycling capitals of the world such as Copenhagen where cycling is an integrated part of everyday life and an essential accessory for contemporary, healthy living.  

On display was a selection of Velorbis bicycle treats: our fire-engine red Dannebrog classic ladies bike, funky Scrap Deluxe ladies bicycle and our urban retro Churchill Balloon gents bike with brown Fat Frank tyres.

The influence and popularity of chilled-out cycle culture, carbon conscious travel and urban commuting is growing amongst the environmentally aware, fashion-forward people of Ireland. Velorbis is catering for this demand by linking up with Thinkbike, the new Velorbis dealer in Dublin, Ireland. 

Thanks to the Cycle Chic Fashion Show for a great event. Welcome on board Thinkbike!

The name, Copenhagen Cyclery, is inspired by the pioneering and world-renowned Copenhagen cycling culture, as well as the city’s reputation for and appreciation of great design. A perfect match for Velorbis who also share this philosophy.

Drum roll please....

We are pleased to reveal our revamped Velorbis UK website – www.velorbis.co.uk – and our new UK web store. This handy online store means that our UK customers can now order conveniently online and receive free delivery anywhere in the UK.

The new Velorbis website and web store forms part of our exciting new distribution strategy in the UK which further enhances our flexibility and competitive edge in the market. Most importantly, it allows us to offer significantly reduced prices across our range of bicycles to really cater to our UK customers, giving them added convenience and increased choice.

Alongside this strategy Velorbis will continue to offer its range of luxury products to independent bicycle dealers in the UK.

See our fabulously diverse range of classic-contemporary bicycles for the 2009/2010 season on the new UK web store, such as our new Student and Studine range of simplified bicycles based on our popular top models – Victoria Classic, Churchill Classic, Dannebrog and Scrap Deluxe.

 

Due to popular demand and the need for more space to showcase our ever-increasing range of exclusive designer classic bicycles, Velorbis has moved location to a new larger concept store in Copenhagen.

Velorbis has a wonderful network of retailers worldwide. We also think that it’s important to have a dedicated concept store to house all the Velorbis treats in the country where our bicycles are designed and in the city where a cycle-friendly culture is an integrated way of life.

Located in the heart of the trendy and desirable Frederiksberg area, the Velorbis range of classic ladies and gents upright bicycles including limited edition bicycle design, student cycles, 'old school' delivery bikes and fun family tricycles; and unique bicycle accessories, are carefully displayed in an art gallery environment. To Velorbis each bicycle is precious – the result of careful and loving design, development and production – and should be treated as a work of art.

Whenever you’re next in Copenhagen be sure to come by and visit the store. You’ll always receive a warm Velorbis welcome.
