Kit and clothing designed for your club, team, event or cycling community
At Le Cycliste Au Repos, cycling clothing starts with a simple idea: it should feel considered, distinctive and connected to the people who wear it.
Alongside our own range of cycling-inspired apparel, we also offer a custom design service for clubs, teams, cycling groups, race organisers, events and businesses looking for original cycling-themed clothing.
Whether you need a one-off event T-shirt, a small run of club hoodies, a relaxed post-ride sweatshirt, or a full concept for your cycling brand, we can help shape the idea into something clean, wearable and well-designed.
Designed by a cyclist and graphic designer
Le Cycliste Au Repos is created by a graphic designer with a lifelong love of cycling. That means the work is not just about placing a logo on a garment. It is about understanding the culture, language and small details of the sport.
From road racing and cyclo-cross to track, club riding and cycling parents standing at the side of a circuit, the references matter. The best designs feel like they belong.
Our style is strong, typographic, restrained and quietly distinctive. Designs can be bold, subtle, humorous, nostalgic or event-specific, depending on what you need.
Custom apparel for cycling clubs, teams and events
We can create custom designs for:
- Cycling clubs and race teams
- Cyclo-cross events
- Track cycling groups
- Sportives and challenge rides
- Club trips and training camps
- Youth cycling teams
- Cycling parents and supporters
- Bike shops and cycling cafés
- Corporate cycling events
- Charity rides and fundraising challenges
This service is ideal if you want clothing that feels more considered than standard branded merchandise.
What we can design
Custom design work can include:
- T-shirts
- Hoodies
- Sweatshirts
- Event apparel
- Supporter clothing
- Club lifestyle wear
- Typography-led cycling designs
- Back prints and chest prints
- Logo-led apparel concepts
- Limited edition capsule designs
The focus is on casual cycling apparel rather than technical race kit. Think clothing for before the ride, after the ride, around the event village, at the velodrome, in the pits, or on the café stop.
A design process that keeps things simple
Every project starts with a short conversation about what you are trying to create.
You may already have a clear idea, or you may only have a club name, event title or cycling phrase you want to build around. Either way, we can help develop the concept, refine the wording and create a design that works on the garment.
A typical project includes:
- A discussion about your idea, audience and garment choice
- Initial design direction or concept
- Refinement of the selected design
- Artwork prepared for production
- Guidance on suitable colours, placement and product options
The aim is to make the process straightforward, friendly and collaborative.
For clubs, parents, riders and organisers
Cycling has its own language, and that is part of what makes it special.
A good custom design might celebrate a local climb, a favourite race, a season of muddy cyclo-cross, a club anniversary, a youth team, a training camp or simply the shared humour of people who spend their weekends riding bikes.
The clothing should feel like something people actually want to wear, not just something they are handed at an event.
