March at Velocidade workshop: manufacturing, new M57 saddlebags, merino bandana, and cycling outings resuming with the arrival of spring.
Life at the workshop | March : March is slowly settling into the workshop. The light changes, days stretch longer, and with them comes a slightly different energy.
Life at the workshop | March and the arrival of spring
Here, the rhythm remains the same — precise, regular. Hands are busy, machines turn, materials take shape. We progress series after series, custom bags, always with the same attention. There's something special about these weeks of transition between seasons. A mix of continuity and renewal.
New arrivals
March also marked the arrival of two new items. The M57, a saddlebag designed for essentials, functional and durable.
And a merino bandana, light, breathable, designed to accompany all outings, from cool mornings to milder days. In parallel, other ideas are already taking shape on the cutting table. The beautiful season is quietly preparing itself.
Hands are busy, machines are running, materials are taking shape
On the bike too, something is starting up again. We're getting back to rides, finding our rhythm, extending distances. With a few events in sight — like Gravel Birds or The Goats — but above all, the simple desire to be outside, to ride, and to enjoy this change of season.
A contest is underway
A contest is underway until April 6th — the perfect opportunity to gear up for spring. Head over to our Instagram account to participate and try your luck.
March is that quiet moment when everything starts moving again.
Velocidade is the feeling of freedom given by speed, the wind making your eyes water, the sound of air rushing past your ears, a little taste of adrenaline that makes you feel good.
At Velocidade, we believe in cycling as the mode of transport of the future! We have created a range of sustainable bicycle bags and backpacks, designed and handmade in our workshop in Mirepoix, Ariège. To learn more about our commitments, click here.

We wanted to create our bags with an Oeko-Tex certified waterproof and UV-resistant fabric made in France.
DESIGN
Products designed to last a long time with an economy of raw materials and that can be repaired, a sustainable design.
REPAIRABLE
In case of damage, no worries, we 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 thought about reducing his environmental impact, whether through his sporting activities such as cycling and running, or in his daily life, having decided to be vegetarian over 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, has continued 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.
