Café du Cycliste: Premium Cycling Apparel from the Côte d'Azur

Born in Nice, France, and inspired by the surrounding beauty of the Mediterranean Sea and the Alpes Maritimes, Café du Cycliste creates cycling apparel for those who chase freedom on two wheels. Designed for riders who seek the road less ridden, the brand blends high-performance fabrics with refined French aesthetics. Café du Cycliste’s collection spans everything from lightweight summer jerseys to thermal bib tights, weatherproof gilets, versatile outerwear, and technical accessories—each crafted to perform across varied conditions and terrains. Whether you’re climbing alpine cols or exploring gravel backroads, their gear is built to go the distance in comfort and style.

Sustainable Design Rooted in the Outdoors

With nearly 80% of its production based in Europe and many suppliers located close to its headquarters in Nice, Café du Cycliste emphasizes quality craftsmanship and responsible manufacturing. Their thoughtful approach includes the use of recycled yarns, low-impact fabrics, and fully compostable packaging. As a certified B Corporation™, the brand balances people, planet, and profit with equal weight—pushing for sustainability in every stitch. Their apparel isn’t just stylish and technical—it’s built to last, ensuring every jersey, bib short, and jacket stands the test of time both on the bike and beyond.

Circular, Conscious, and Community-Driven

From the “Recycliste” program, which gives second-hand apparel a new life, to partnerships with organizations like 1% for the Planet®, Café du Cycliste continues to lead with purpose. Their growing product range includes everything a cyclist needs—technical base layers, riding shoes, performance socks, and thoughtfully designed bags—crafted with a focus on longevity and low environmental impact. The brand’s commitment to ethical labor, local production, and carbon-conscious innovation is backed by external audits and a dedicated sustainability team. For cyclists who care as much about the world they ride through as the ride itself, Café du Cycliste offers apparel with purpose.
