We’re really pleased to announce that we’re bringing our special Velorbis brand of chic cycle style to the Romanian market by opening two exclusive new Velorbis showrooms – one in the capital city of Bucharest and another in the beautiful coastal city of Constanta, the country’s third largest city. We’ve also just launched a fully-translated website for our Romanian customers.

The trend for cycling in Bucharest and throughout other cities in Romania is growing, as more and more people are choosing to adopt a bike-friendly lifestyle; fashion forward citizens who view bicycles as an important part of their everyday urban travel, not just to be used for sport and leisure activities.

Velorbis’ Romanian showrooms extend this unique cycling vision and concept: fusing bicycles and high fashion into a convenient and functional lifestyle accessory that is part of an inspiring, healthy cycling culture. We look forward to equipping our stylish Romanian customers with the full range of first class Velorbis delights.

From Copenhagen to California...

We’re pleased to say that our US retailer expansion is continuing. Velorbis is now available in the beautiful ‘Golden State’ of California on the USA’s glamorous West Coast.

Flying Pigeon, LA; a speciality retailer of ‘The world’s most beautiful city bikes’ has now added a selection of our iconic Velorbis bicycle models such as Dannebrog and Student Balloon, to its current product offering.

The classic bicycle trend is in full swing in the US as a key lifestyle accessory/fashion statement/green transport choice.  We look forward to equipping the stylish residents of California – and fellow bicycle lovers in other states – with a little bit of Copenhagen cycling culture; and spreading the chic cycling message nationwide.

We were delighted to be invited to Sunset Magazine’s free-wheeling picnic in their May 2010 issue.

Sunset Magazine is a leading US lifestyle publication with nearly 5 million dedicated readers, focusing on the essential elements of achieving West coast style. It’s a premier resource and how-to guide of the very best style, products, travel, food & drink etc. that celebrates the West coast’s healthy, luxurious, inspiring (and achievable) way of life.

On offer was a selection of beautifully delicious, gourmet treats – a yummy medley of food and Velorbis bicycles.

Sunset Magazine provided the refreshments; Velorbis provided the elegant wheels in the form of our ever-popular Dannebrog red ladies bicycle (like strawberries and cream), and Scrap Deluxe gents bike with signature balloon tyres.

The editorial shows that organising a romantic picnic setting with friends or loved ones, preparing mouth-watering recipes, and arriving in ultimate cycle chic style; is as easy as 'a walk (or cycle) in the park.'

It’s great to see 'wonderful' Copenhagen recognised as the world's cycling paradise. It’s something that we’ve known all along and have been lucky to experience firsthand.

Copenhagen has been voted 'The best city to be a cyclist in' by Treehugger.com in its annual 'Best of Green' awards under the Cars & Transportation category, because the city constantly innovates to keep ahead of the competition. Treehugger.com is the American environmental website widely regarded as an authority on sustainable living information.

Copenhagen was also voted ‘Best green city to visit’ in the Travel and Nature section.

It’s a fabulous place to visit and live. We like to think that Velorbis bicycles epitomise the city’s effortlessly chic cycling culture and give a slice of life – the Copenhagen way.

Great news! Velorbis bicycles are now available as part of the UK Government’s Cycle To Work Scheme through various leading providers including Cyclescheme, On Your Bike (also known as c2w Support) and NHS Direct.

Cycle To Work is a government initiative and excellent tax-free scheme designed to get employees cycling to work, thus reducing dependency on cars. Employers can purchase bicycles for their employees at a discounted rate and reclaim the tax (VAT). The cost of each bicycle is deducted from employees’ pay via a salary sacrifice scheme.

UK employers can now ensure that their employees enjoy a wonderful cycling experience and adopt some cycle chic – Copenhagen style – into their daily commute with the impeccable design and comfort of a Velorbis designer bicycle.

It’s the perfect way to create a healthier, happier, stress-free and more motivated workforce – a fantastically successful green transport scheme that can be adopted by countries worldwide.
