Zeitfrei Adidas cycling shoes for Bianchi

Posted on | Leave a comment

Bianchi

Big thanks to David Doesburg for flagging up this rather niche Adidas design out of Italy – the Zeitfrei Adidas cycling shoes for Bianchi.

It's a cross between a trainer and a plimsoll, complete with the vintage-style charm of the latter. But it is created for a purpose – light and with sufficient grip for street cycling.

The design is more Bianchi than Adi, but if you look closely, you'll still see those famous three stripes. Only available (as far as we know) from Bianchi direct, a pair sells from 108 Euros.

Pashley vintage-style Picador tricycle

Tricycle

Think the tricycle was something purely for early childhood? Not according to Pashley, which offers three tricycles, including the Picador tricycle.

This vintage-style three-wheeler is geared very much for adults, the kind of adults who see cycling as a pleasant, eco-style pastime rather than extreme exercise obviously. You'll struggle to keep up with the pack at your local cycling club with one of these.

For your money, you get a tubular steel frame, 20-inch wheels with alloy rims, non-slip pedals, all-weather brakes, 'comfort' elastomer-strung saddle, a rear wire basket and an optional front wicker basket. Three colour options, prices start at £675.

Penny

It's an icon of the Victorian age – and now you can get yourself a Penny Farthing, albeit with a modern twist.

It's more or less an accurate replica of the original in shape, with the front wheel a hefty 36 inches, while the rear wheel shrinks down to around 12 inches. The seat, as you can see, is perched high on that angled frame, giving you an elevated view of the world and indeed, the road.

Cycling

When it comes to the gear, is there a cooler sport/pastime on the planet than cycling? If the bikes don't get you, the clothing will, especially these Woolistic vintage replica cycling jerseys.

Woolistic gear is designed in Switzerland and made in Italy, offering up classic cycling designs of years gone by – the Molteni spring wool trainer on the left dates back to the late 60s and is a single-ply knit, made of Merino wool. On the right is the Faemino out of Italy, which dates from around 1970, again Merino wool and like all in the range, sold in limited numbers.

Getting them isn't easy though. In the US, check out Vintage Velos or in the UK, Bromley Video carries some of the designs. The price of these handmade tops is around £145.
