AURORA x MONOW – Bike Jersey / Riding Jacket

AURORA x MONOW Bike Jersey / Jacket

AURORA collective teamed up with MONOW, a one-man design studio based in Stuttgart/Germany.
Together they designed 3 unique Bike Jerseys / Jackets. All with a simple but sophisticated style,
because they don’t wanted to create something that makes you look like a advertising pillar.
The designs will look good on and off bike, whether you ride in the mountains or in the urban environment.

The Jerseys and Jackets are made of high quality materials by Champion System.
They will move and breath with you, so that you can concentrate on riding your bike.

Each design is available in a shortsleeve and longsleeve version and you can choose from fullzip or 3/4 zip. Also each design is available as a Winter Riding Jacket. This jacket is windproof and got a three-layer fleece. So it will keep you warm even in the coldest situations.

Check out the AURORA webshop and preorder your Jersey / Jacket.
The jerseys will be shipped in the beginning of july.

Inspired From Tracko’s “Save The Track Bike!” pins, we bring you “Save The Bike Messenger!” pins. The pin speaks for itself. Bike messengers perform miracles every day. The last few years messenger companies and indy messenger alike have felt the effects of the economic state. We as messengers know our importance to the city we work in. Most companies take us for granted and don’t realize how important we are to the community. This pin pays homage to all the messengers around the world working day in and day out for the love of pedaling and pushing packages.

SWRVE handmade urban cycling apparel

SWRVE BirdHow can i introduce SWRVE in a appropriate way?
I think the title speaks for itself, but it takes some more words to describe this kind of passion:

“A late-night ride though a nearly deserted downtown. Casual rides to run errands.
Whizzing past rush-hour traffic. Fighting traffic as stress relief.

It is in this spirit that swrve was founded in the summer of 2005. We are passionate about
bikes but we don’t look so good in spandex.

Swrve makes stylish urban cycling apparel. Our design concept has always been clean and simple
lines. Form follows function, a dash of elegance and a dash of street.

We love riding in the city.”
- the founders of SWRVE

SWRVE handmade bicycle gear.

Today i got my order from the SWRVE base in the UK. Only took around 3 days to arrive. I’m amazed by such great workmanship and the passion SWRVE puts in every piece. Everything is well designed and with so much intelligent details.
I ordered a cotton trouser, a short with DWR, merino baselayer and a hiding hoodie.
All handmade in the US, with the best materials and also awareness for fair trade and fair working conditions.
And the best thing: the prices are reasonable, too.

SWRVE handmade bicycle gear.

Had the trouser, hoodie and baselayer on for some rides today and the performance was great. The weather wasn’t that good, about 13° and really windy, but the cloth kept me warm. Not bad.

Maybe check out swrve.co.uk when you are from Germany / EU
or swrvecycling.com when you are from the US and give them a try.
