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

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.

See how FrameFix works in the demo below:

Velorbis has entered the sports bike market – following requests from our customers – with our unique interpretation of the "fixie" style bike. Meet the Velorbis Arrow gents bike.

Reflecting the uncompromising design style, attitude and attention to detail synonymous with all of our bicycles, Velorbis Arrow has been designed for urban commuters who are seeking a second bike for the occasions when they need to get to their destinations a little bit faster. Just like choosing a high-speed sports car to join the main family car, or buying designer sportswear as an addition to corporate workwear.

The Velorbis Arrow has been created to complement (and balance) our main range of classic comfort bicycles. It is speedy, streamlined and slick, and weighs in at around 12kgs. It has a black lugged steel frame, is available in three frame sizes, and features luxurious brown leather accessories. We have also designed a dark brown leather messenger bag to accompany it.

As the saying goes; "Make time fly like an arrow". Now you can with the Velorbis Arrow.

We are delighted to announce that Velorbis has arrived in Canada, joining the exclusive CycleCouture bicycle boutique, which opens on 1st April 2011 on 926 College Street in Toronto, to cater for the growing demand for chic urban cycling.

CycleCouture is a wonderful match for the Velorbis spirit and brand ethos – as echoed by the inspiration behind the CycleCouture store: "Press rewind. Backpedal your mind to those first times you felt the wind in your face as you rode your bike around the block. Bicycles create freedom. They create memories. A bike ride allows you to take in your environment and truly appreciate your surroundings. Here at CycleCouture, we have created an atmosphere that embodies all of the above."

Velorbis was showcased at the recent Toronto International Bicycle Show on the CycleCouture stand (see photo below), which generated a lot of positive interest from visitors to the show and also the Press.

CycleCouture was also featured in the article: "CycleCouture brings Copenhagen cycling to Toronto" by the influential local online magazine Postcity.com.
