Giant started in 1972 with one goal: Create a better cycling experience for people around the world.

The founders of Giant were craftsmen and engineers. They understood their strengths. So to make cycling more enjoyable and accessible to people around the world, they did what they knew best. They set out to improve the cycling experience by following three guiding principles: craftsmanship, innovation and inspiration.

It began with lightweight aluminum frames. Giant’s ability to produce high-quality bikes at an affordable price allowed more riders to experience cycling in a whole new way. Since then, Giant has pioneered advancements in both aluminum and composite engineering. We introduced the first affordable carbon fiber bike, the Cadex 980 C, and transformed high-performance road bikes with our Total Compact Road design. In mountain biking, Giant’s Maestro Suspension established a new level of performance for off-road riding and racing.

Over the last four decades, Giant has grown well beyond its manufacturing roots to become the world’s leading brand of quality bicycles and gear. With more than 12,000 retail partners worldwide, we aim to inspire adventure in all riders, from casual to competitive.

Giant bikes win world championships. They win design awards, too. But most importantly, they win the hearts of riders who choose to make cycling a part of their lives. We support that choice. We think it makes the world a better place.

RIDE LIFE. RIDE GIANT.

Since 1998, BV sport has been conducting pioneering medical research on the venous return system. It has established itself as a reference for the support compression field for athletes of all levels. 10 years of ground breaking scientific research, several clinical studies which have been published in the most prestigious international scientific journals demonstrates our expertise. In addition three international patents and 12 years collaboration with technical and medical staff from professional federations and clubs have laid the foundations for our technical product ranges which are adapted to suit all sporting disciplines.

In 1989, Dr. Serge Couzan was supervising Dr. Michaël Prüfer’s thesis on research into blood circulation problems associated with athletes. Michaël Prüfer was then a multiple record holder and speed-skiing world champion. He won the gold medal in that discipline at the Albertville Winter Olympics in 1992.

The two vascular doctors combined their specialist skills, and thanks to their research among top athletes invented and developed a revolutionary concept designed to improve muscular performance and to speed up recovery: gradual support sock that places particular pressure in the calf area so as to speed up venous return, unlike standard support garments that place pressure upon the ankle. It was from this research that the patent was born.

Cycle chic Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or anywhere in Australia

Joyce couldn’t understand why she should wear figure-unforgiving lycra and use boring black bike accessories, just because she liked to get around on two wheels. She found that bike stores catered mainly for sports cyclists and there was no single place in Australia where you could find fashionable cycling bags, accessories and clothing  for men and women that looked just as good off the bike.

So she decided to source the best in cycle chic clothing and accessories from Europe, the UK and US and present them to style savvy cyclists all in one beautiful store – CycleStyle.

CycleStyle is the most comprehensive online store for stylish cycling gear in Australia, so you can buy our products anywhere, anytime. Many of the hand-picked brands are exclusive to CycleStyle in Australia and we’re constantly on the lookout for cool and unique products to add to our collection.

We hope you love CycleStyle as much as we do – happy cycling!

The Sunhider Helmet Cap was designed to provide extra protection from the sun, for cyclists while they are out riding.

I often see bike riders out on the road with a cap or other sun protection, underneath their bike helmets .

 
The Sunhider has been designed so that it fits around the outside of the helmet and it does not matter what shape the helmet is.

Of course I am a keen mountain biker myself.  I understand the importance for women to be comfortable. I believe that in our current recession that optimum mental wellbeing can be achieved by exercising while feeling good about the way you look ! Total Betty is a clothing range created to meet this need.

Designed and manufactured right here in the Bay of Plenty, when you buy Total Betty, you are taking a piece of our region home with you. I am continually changing fabric designs and colours so that there is only a limited number of the same shirts out there. Have a look at the Products page, whatever makes you feel most confident WILL improve your riding…

 

Total Betty was born and bred by local women and our clothing is as fresh and invigorating as Rotorua’s forest trails.
“Betty” is biking slang for “a woman who rides”.
“Total” is complete, whole, perfect.
So a “Total Betty” is a complete woman who rides
