Carrying the slogan ‘Live the Ride’, their goal is to enable cyclists to show off their bike riding passion in all areas of their lives.

We’ve teamed up with Après Vélo to bring you a round up of ten favourite items currently on offer for women. Here’s a look at some of our top picks…

TDFixation Tee

Love to watch the Tour? This tee will spread the word. The premium cotton elastane jersey is enzyme washed – so it’ll be soft and cosy as well as offering a little stretch.

Cycle Club Slouch

Soar into the ‘velosphere’ in total comfort with this winged beauty.

This ‘slouch’ is all about chilling – it’s loose fitting and made from Rayon Polyester Elastane brushed jersey silicone which promises ‘x-rated levels of comfort’!

Wheel Love Never Tyres Knit Sweater

See it here for £29.95.

This long sleeved, crew neck true knit sweater screams about your love of two wheels from front and back. The jacquard graphics feature metallic yarns for a tiny bit of ‘stand out’ appeal.

Bike Love Tee

See it here for £24.95

Express your love for your bicycle with this cool graphic tee. Made from 100 per cent cotton yarn dyed marle jersey, it’s silicone washed for a soft and comfortable feel and comes in a fairly relaxed fit.

Tour de Caffe Latte Tee

See it here for £24.95

For recreational riders, the tour doesn’t have to be all about speed and power – it can be more focused on that lovely post ride coffee, and the sights seen along the way.

This regular fit tee has a scoop neck and is made from cotton and elastane jersey, which adds a little stretch. It’s enzyme washed for a soft and worn feel, and features woven badges on the hem and sleeve.

Fuel Tee

See it here for £24.95

The graphic on this tee isn’t just about keeping up appearances – the material has been infused with Green coffee beans – great for killing odour and being quick drying. The cotton tee is enzyme washed, too – to make it nice and soft.

Get Awesome Tee

See it here for £24.95

Après Vélo have come up with a cool equation to explain the story behind this tee:

B+B (Bikes &Beer) X C+C (Carbs & Courage) = Enhanced M+M (Moods & Memories)

It’s all about living the ride, and having fun doing it. This one is 100 per cent cotton and has a crew neck and regular fit.

Life Behind Bars Tee

See it here for £24.95

The best way to spend life behind bars, according to this Aussie brand, is by getting on a bike. The alternative is robbing a bank, which they don’t recommend.

This tee is semi fitted, has a crew neck and a badge logo on the rear hem. It’s made from 100 per cent cotton jersey and has been pigment dyed to create imperfections in colour which produces a super distressed and worn feel.

Cycle Culture Hoodie

See it here for £39.95

Make your passion for the bike clear wherever you go.

This is a super comfortable, loose fit hoodie with a curved yoke and elasticised basque and cuffs for added slouch factor. The fabric used is a Viscose Poly Elastane Marled jersey – which is incredibly soft.

Cycle of Dreams Pyjamas

See them here for £44.95

This set is comprised of a long sleeve relaxed fit top with contrast grey marle sleeves, neck trim and a handy pocket, plus bottoms with an elasticated waistband and drawcord. The cotton jersey material is silicone washed and incredibly soft, and you get a complementary eye mask and carry bag.
