Velorbis bicycles were part of a historic day in Copenhagen politics when Denmark's first ever female prime minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt met with the Queen to ask to form a government. All ministers from the Liberal party - De Radikale Venstre - who are part of Denmark's new coalition government, decided to arrive in style at the Queen's residence on Velorbis Victoria Classic ladies and Velorbis Churchill Classic gents bicycles. It was an entrance to remember and highlights perfectly the chic cycling culture that Danes of all professions and walks of life hold close to their hearts as part of their everyday lifestyles. The new government has announced that it will integrate green policies as a main element of their administration in order to make Copenhagen even more bicycle friendly.

The Velorbis bicycles are part of a large Velorbis bicycle fleet available for politicians to use for getting to and from meetings at various locations in central Copenhagen. Interested in learning more about Velorbis company bicycle schemes? E-mail sales@velorbis.com or call +45 31110030

Velorbis was delighted to take part in Copenhagen Fashion Week this year. During the week we showcased our new fashion accessory range of luxury leather bags which were extremely well received by the fashionistas. In particular, our leather travel bag grabbed the limelight and made it onto the catwalk at the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair (CIFF) trend show SS12, which took place as the main event during Copenhagen Fashion Week. Take a look at some of the photos from the show below. To coincide with the launch of our new fashion accessory range, we have created a dedicated website - take a look and download the latest catalogue: www.velorbisfashion.com

We love it every single time we get to combine photography with lovely bicycles. Shooting the new catalogue for Velorbis was a fantastic opportunity to do so.  You can read more about the photo shoot at the Copenhagen Cycle Chic blog.

We are delighted to unveil to you the world’s strongest basket that can carry up to 15kgs/33lbs, based on our new invention – the unique FrameFix mounting bracket (patent pending).  FrameFix provides the inner core strength that enables all bicycle baskets to maximise their load capacity without compromising steering ability and balance.

The Velorbis team started a design mission a while ago – studying stylish female Copenhagen cyclists and listening to their issues and needs. We found that cyclists wanted versatile and stabile storage on two wheels so they could safely carry a couple of shopping bags and a handbag and be able to chat on their mobile phones, for example – and look good at the same time.

We also found that current baskets on the market are often too small and are fitted to the handlebars on bicycles, which affects the steering and balance when the basket is full and when turning. Our design team therefore rethought the whole mounting system. Like the popular front carriers on Velorbis gents bicycles, our FrameFix bracket invention attaches to the head tube instead of the handlebars, so that the accompanying basket remains in a fixed position whenever elegantly manoeuvring through traffic, providing extra strength and stability when cycling.

Now you can multi-task on two wheels – such as carrying extra shopping bags, a pet dog, gifts, and flowers, etc. – and look super-stylish, of course.
