Team Sigr - Not all heroes wear capes!
Not all heroes wear capes.
It's all very well being a cycling clothing brand. You make clothes, you sell clothes, everyone's happy. But we are humble and know we are nothing without our lovely cyclist friends. We wanted a way to give these heroes the recognition they deserve and to that end we started our Team Sigr initiative. This is our salute to those not-so-ordinary people who take the sport forward year after year with friends or alone mile after mile. Together, our sincere hope is that Team Sigr will inspire others to dust off their bike and go for a ride.
Follow them
We set up an Instagram account @teamsigr where you can follow the trials and tribulations of these happy cyclists.
The "rules"
We sponsor teams all around the world with Sigr cycling gear and only have a few loose requirements
- 1. They must ride as a team - We think that riding together is the most enjoyable way to cycle and if there's a way to get more people cycling, it's this. Encouraging your mate to finally get that new bike (or just mend that puncture ;) and join you out on that Sunday morning tarmac is what it's all about. Don't get us wrong, the lone wolf rider setting off to claim the local mountain top in record time is also awesome but this is about the team.
- 2. There must be women and men in the team - Simple. If the team is mixed, there will be no gender barriers for anyone to join and the more the merrier.
- 3. We hope they ride for fun. Yes, sometimes it rains, yes, sometimes you crash, yes, sometimes there's no cake left when you get to the coffee (or tea) stop but for us it's not about pain and suffering. Try hard and sometimes it might hurt, but fun must be the goal.
Something Blue?
Why did we choose blue clothes this year? Not sure really, we could say to symbolise the memory of the endless blue sky, stretching all the way to the horizon on your best ride of the year, or maybe a cheeky wink to the blue of the Swedish flag? We actually just thought it looked really nice. Full stop.
