Cycling can be a pretty snobby sport. A pay-to-play one, too. Even as a relatively new cyclist, I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve heard a dude ramble about his 15,000€, 6kg bike while rubbing on his 12kg beer belly.
The sport can be quite exclusive and intimidating to get into. The ultra-technical language (visual and otherwise) that brands use, and the hefty price tags don't help break that barrier.
I admit - it's cool to feel like a World Tour pro with your super-mega-aerodynamic jersey on a coffee ride, but it has made me wonder:
What could a brand that feels technical and precise, yet human and approachable, look like?
What started as a half-day practice experiment turned into a whole case study. Maybe even a real brand someday soon?
