Coffee and cycling have been in a partnership since the 1960’s. Way back when a Belgian “cannibal” rode for an Italian pro-team, sponsored by a Milanese coffee machine company.<\/p>\n

\nEver since I became a passionate recreational cyclist and lover of the two wheeled chariot in all its many forms, I have noticed the growing affinity between cyclist and caffeine. The Caf\u00e9 Culture amongst cyclists has certainly reigned supreme and continues to grow. The one question invariably asked during the ride is \u201cso where we going for coffee afterwards” So what is this love affair between cyclist and the post ride Caf\u00e9 meet all about? Is it the pursuit of the cyclists \u201cdrug of choice”, the comradeship of mates who embrace the same passion sharing their bike stories post ride, or a combination of both? My answer is simple \u2013 It really is all about LIVING THE RIDE \u2013 the freedom, the friendships, the stories that like minded souls share over a hot cuppa post ride. This is what APRES VELO is all about and my very inspiration for designing a range of TEES that tell this story and show the passion. Welcome TEAM CAFFEINE \u2013 GET YOUR FIX both on and off the bike and wear your heart on your TEE!
