What a year! As we are about to see the back of 2016, we thought it would be a good time to share with you some of our bestsellers and the things you, our valued customers have raved about. Who knows, there might be a few ideas in here about what to give that cycling fanatic in your life…
Pasta Di Bici £5.99 We sold enough pasta last year to feed an army, especially around Christmas time. Maybe it had something to do with all the carloading you lot did before epic cycling rides over the holidays.
“Bought this for a bike nut friend along with a nice (and more expensive) pair of cycling gloves. He thought the gloves were fine, but was really chuffed with his bike shaped pasta!” Chole, London.
Retro Crochet Cycling Gloves £14.99
Which brings us on to our best selling accessory The Retro Crochet Cycling gloves. More expensive than the pasta but still a REALLY good price for leather gloves at £14.99. We searched long and hard to find them and they have proved very popular with men and women. Here’s what one of our happy Customers thinks…
“I love these gloves so much – they’re very well-made, the natural colour of the leather is great and they’re SOO comfortable! No more hand and wrist pain for me. Only downside was that my husband loved mine so much he pinched my first pair and I had to buy myself another pair. Merlinalison
Closca Fuga Collapsible Helmet £110.99
As new helmets, these are selling really well and feedback is that they are very comfy and light and the fact you can put them in your bag is scoring massive brownie points for busy cyclists. Also the winter liners are a great winter warmer.
Braasi Rolltop Backpack Noir £91.99
We had lots of requests to get the Braasi Noir as we already stocked other designs. It seems you can’t wrong with black and these are now the most popular of the Braasi bags. The sturdy yet stylish design is a winner all around.
The fact that we spot this helmet a lot while riding around town says a lot about what a much loved product it is. Its classic shape and stand out bling make it a real statement piece.
Anna says:
“Hi Cycle Chic Team,
I wanted to send a quick note to say how much I love my Bobbin Gold Bike Helmet. I ordered it back in May 2014 and I continue to get compliments on at as I cycle around my adopted hometown of Florence, Italy. Not too many people wear helmets here, so I love standing out and promoting bike safety in a such a fun (and fashionable!) way.
Thanks so much,
Anna”
This is officially our best selling pannier bag. It’s unofficially become Cyclechic uniform as we all have one and can’t sing its praises enough. Even the Guardian Magazine called it “The most stylish pannier we’ve ever seen,” way back in September 2012.
Ines says:
“I bought this bag for my husband as a present and ended up buying one myself in a different colour. It is lighweight, comfortable to use and looks nice. Quality of the fabric is good and the bag is nicely finished. The only downside is that it is not too big. I can fit my gym clothes and working shows, which is what I need, but if you´d like to fit a lot of stuff go for a bigger model”
Pineapple Fragranced Bicycle Soap £4.95
We sold a lot of these last year and have it on good authority they go down particularly well as a stocking filler for Cyclechic ladies (hint, hint to all the boyfreinds and hubbies looking for an extra few bits to make your ladies smile on Chrsitmas day)
New Looxs Genova Bicycle Pannier £54.99
A newish addition to our range of pannier bags that’s proving very popular, a great choice for those who want something practical with a vintage feel. We knew as we saw it that we had to stock it and sales are proving we made the right decision!
What better way to reflect on the year than to sit down with a nice cup of tea? This Kelly Connor, “I bloody love riding my bike” has been a hit throughout the year . It’s also been a staple in every meeting at Cyclechic HQ this year and has seen LOTS of biscuits dunked.
We’d like to say a massive thank you to you all for being such amazing supportive customers. We are a small independent business and really do love hearing and sharing your stories of amazing cycling adventures and stylish bike riding. To show our love we will include a Heart Shaped Reflector in every order over £80.
