A few weeks ago, we just got back from Gravel Birds. A few days to get back into the workshop rhythm, prepare orders, finish bag series... and already the urge to go back outside. In a few days, we're heading to The Goats.
Heading to The Goats 🐐
Not yet time for the big story — that will come after the adventure — but close enough to departure to start preparing the bike, checking the gear, finishing the last seams, and trying to fit a bit too much into the bags. As often, these adventures are also part of the process: riding long distances, living outdoors for several days, testing equipment in real conditions, and returning to the workshop with new ideas.
Workshop information
The workshop will be closed from June 8th to 15th during the The Goats adventure.
If you wish to receive something from the available stock before departure, please order before Friday, June 5th. The last shipments will leave on Saturday morning.
During the adventure, we will try to share as many moments as possible in stories on our Instagram account. The real story will come upon our return 🚲
Velocidade is the feeling of freedom given by speed, the wind making your eyes water, the sound of the air blowing past your ears, a small taste of adrenaline that makes you feel good.
At Velocidade, we believe in the bicycle as the mode of transport of the future! We have created a range of responsible bike luggage and backpacks, designed and handcrafted in our workshop in Mirepoix, Ariège. To learn more about our commitments, click here.
MADE IN FRANCE
We wanted to create our bags with a waterproof and UV-resistant Oeko-Tex certified fabric made in France.
DESIGN
Products designed to last a long time, with material savings, and that can be repaired – a sustainable design.
REPAIRABLE
In case of damage, no worries, we'll repair your bag!
COMMITMENT
As a committed brand, we donate 1% of our turnover to contribute to environmental preservation.
RICARDO VIEIRA - FOUNDER/DESIGNER/SEWER
Ricardo has long been thinking about reducing his environmental impact, whether through his sporting practice of cycling, running, or in his daily life, having decided to be vegetarian more than 20 years ago. Curious and passionate, he began creating and manufacturing his first objects when his grandfather gave him a sewing machine for his 17th birthday, and since then, he has strived to create, repair, and manufacture with the same energy and in the same direction: sobriety and localism. Convinced that cycling is the ultimate decarbonized solution for everyday travel, Ricardo decided to create Velocidade and embarked on the design and conception of handmade bags, in a completely artisanal way.
