As the Tour of California is already under way Sugio has launched a Peter Sagan “Green Machine” Signature Jersey, which Sagan helped design.
He’s won a record 10 stages at the race earning the nickname Tourminator – and now you can get in green like Sagan too.

Cycling apparel maker Foska looks to play catch up – or rather Ketchup. It has introduced a new jersey for this season that is dedicated to Heinz Tomato Ketchup. It is just one of several new food inspired jerseys. Something tells us you might get hungry and thirsty with a pack ride filled with these jerseys.
These jerseys are made of Coolmax material and feature a ¾ zipper along with three deep pockets, and with a sport fit could perfect for the next ride to the pub!
It was no April Fools this week when Mt. Borah announced that the April Jersey of the Month would be the Hipster, a jersey that will feel at home on the trails to the post-ride pub. It features an urban plaid design that it is hip wherever it goes.

ShareTheDamnRoad’s line of apparel has a simple message – and for spring the company has introduced a jersey that says it all. The “Don’t Run Me Over” jersey is attire with a message. It features a silcone gripper, a men’s or women’s club cut, full zipper and three rear pockets. Perhaps drivers will finally get the message.
Many cyclists may be of the “Weekend Warrior” variety – as in they only get out for a ride on the weekends. Whether that is you or not, the Podium Cycling Weekend Warrior jersey will have you covered. It features a 140 gram polyester material, and offers UPF25 sun protection, has three rear pockets, and a hidden YKK zipper.
This jersey also features a digital camouflage pattern – much like the kind that the military is now moving away from – but instead of helping you blend in on the road or the trails it might help you stand out.
More sights from the Interbike 2013 – including World Jersey’s notable “2nd Amendment” jersey (above), which we thought made a powerful statement! Kudos to this company for not being one to pull punches. Continue reading Interbike 2013: Sights From the Show Floor Day 2
Cycling can be an expensive pastime. Not only do bikes cost a pretty penny but the attire can be quite pricey. KindHuman looks to help ease the pain of looking good on a bike, and has introduced a new line of affordable cycling attire. The first piece is the limited edition Maccabi Jersey, which commemorates the Maccabi Games.
These are held every four years in Israel and are often called the Jewish Olympics. KindHuman mechanic Ayal Rahat finished second in the Games’ cycling road race four years ago and was expected to compete in the 2013 Maccabi Games Road Race last month. The Maccabi Aktive jersey will retail for $75 with a portion of the proceeds directly supporting Maccabi Canada athletes.
While you didn’t ride to victory in the Tour de France (unless you are Chris Froome and we’d be impressed if he were reading this), you can still suit up like this year’s winner. Rapha has released a special edition Team Sky Tour de France victory jersey. Available in September it will feature the team riders’ names are printed on the rear pocket and features sponsor logos, and even a yellow strip on the arm and down the back.
The company is also launching a slim-fitting black cotton victory T-shirt that carries the outline of France (surprisingly doesn’t include Corsica) and includes the names of the nine squad members of Team Sky. Continue reading Tour de Force
With the words “Know Your Enemy NYC” this cycling jersey from Pedal Pushers is one we’d say has a hardcore look to it. Anyone who has ridden the mean streets of Sixth Avenue pre-bike lanes can understand this one. While New York City may be far more bike friendly, it still isn’t for the faint of heart. And while this one was made in California we still see it has that Big Apple attitude.
This jersey is for those who can handle a bit of traffic.
Cycling jerseys are made to help keep riders cool, but the Vortex Cooling Cycling Shirt takes this to a whole new level. It is an air cooled cycling shirt that according to its designers utilizes the power of nature to keep you cool. The shirt, which is now being developed via a Kickstarter project, uses the natural airflow generated by a cyclist.
Small concealed compartments on each shoulder and at the lower back area hold purpose made shields lift the fabric off the rider’s back to create an air channel to provide cooling air flow while also shielding the body from the sun. These shields are even removable for washing. We’re not sure if this will create drag, which in turn could make a rider have to work harder but it is still an interesting concept.

The French are known for fashion and this apparently includes cycling attire. Café du Cycliste isn’t about flashy race gear but something that evokes style. These include retro fabrics such as Merino wool and other performance fabrics that look as good as they feel.
The Suzanne jersey above was developed with a construction mix of mesh and superlight striped fabric that can keep riders cool and dry. This full zip jersey has the usual three back pockets and zipped key pocket, but it also offers reflective elements and would be good on the road or a ride down the Seine.
Cycling attire looks good but after a ride or two it smells anything but. Repeated washing can help but at some point the miles just take their toll on even that favorite jersey. Part of the problem is that jerseys and shorts typically are as much plastic as natural materials and this makes removing that funky smell all the harder.
Perhaps Nikwax’s Basefresh can help. This is a detergent/conditioner that is designed for synthetic activewear, helping to deodorize while also inhibiting the build-up of body odors. It also accelerates drying and improves the cooling efficiency of base layers.
It is even designed to be used in conjunction with regular laundry detergents so it could help all the clothes smell a whole lot fresher.
It is often said that those who fail to learn from history are destined to repeat it. That probably isn’t what De Marchi had in mind, but those who do know some cycling history can wear it!
The company is introducing a line of historical jersey reproductions from cycling’s “golden age” and this limited edition series features attired based on what were originally manufactured by the Italian clothing brand, which has been designing and producing cycling wear since 1946. Reproductions of old team jerseys will feature two front pockets and these include the 1951 Wilier jersey worn by Antonio Bevilacqua and the 1949 Atala worn by Luison Bobet. The line will also include the 1967 Mainetti worn by Marino Basso, the 1969 SCIC worn by Vittorio Adorni, the 1972 baby blue Salvararni worn by Felice Gimondi, and the 1975 Filotex worn by Francesco Moser.
De Marchi products are distributed in the U.S. through Bicycle Technologies International.
