Topshop To Launch Cycling Range

Cycling is set to get a fashionable boost as Topshop's latest move in it's world takeover is to design a range of accessories for female cyclists, The Independent reports.

Padded shorts and waterproof jackets are out and silk head scarves and gold visors are in.

Olympic gold medal cyclist Rebecca Romero told the Independent: "Topshop is filling a gap. There is a lot of cycle-wear and accessories on the market, but you have to go to specific shops. And they cater for sporting people, not for recreational users."

"If I get on my bike, I want what the majority want - something that is functional but which is disguised as regular clothing. This is what Topshop is trying to do."

The collection was created by London design duo Amy Fleuriot and Sarah Buck of Cyclodelic. They hope to capitalise on the idea of cycling as a greener, cheaper alternative to driving.

With many celebs including Agyness Deyn taking to cycling instead of driving we don't think it'll be long before this trend catches on.
