As you’d know expect from Ted Baker, when you hear they are launching a new Cycling apparel range you know the last thing you’re going to see is tight fitting Lycra clad models and heavy duty functional, sporty attire and sure enough not so much as a Lycra cycling short to be seen, thank Holy God.
Based on classic Ted Baker fundamentals and innovative design details, the brand has, thankfully, swerved clear of performance-enhancing lycra to create Raising the Handlebars: a bespoke collection of stylish cycling gear that refuses to sacrifice appearance over functionality.
Geometric prints, bold colours and stitch eyelets put the aesthetic into athletic, whilst the collection’s style is matched by its substance found in reflective collars and cuffs, antibacterial finishes, and robust fabric trims which provide further support / protection where needed.
All this, together with other classic Ted details (such as a velcro tie to hold the trouser leg away from chain) all come together to deliver a decent dose of substantial style to your cycling proficiency.
Working in collaboration with, Cycling aficionados, Wiggle, they have created a range of clothing that will take you straight from bike to office and then onto the bar, taking away the need to change once you have cycled to your destination.
Shirts include a high percentage of Elastane for added stretch and comfort, as well as an anti-bacterial finish to keep odours at bay. Available in long and short sleeves, shirts feature special prints, which have been designed taking inspiration from the mechanics of a bicycle, using cogs and chains links.
