UPDATE | 14.4.20

As of Tuesday, 14th April 2020 we remain fully operational. All dispatch on our AU, US and UK stores is fully functional, with no or minimal delays expected by our shipping partners. Our office in Brisbane remains open, with a clear work-from-home plan when state and local governments request to do so.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. x

These are challenging times. And changing rapidly. But as cyclists we are used to seeing hell before heaven. The suffering before the win. And we as a business are taking on the challenges of COVID-19 just as we would an infamous Col. We are inspired to get through the hard times because we know the view from the top will be one worth savouring.

Cycling has given us many things. Resilience, strength and a taste for good coffee among them. But it has also given us you – an incredible community. And without you, there is no us. So we want to take this opportunity to remind you to stay safe and look after your loved ones – the world over. Whatever your current predicament, we wish you the strength to get through this.

For us it’s business as usual. Our manufacturing facilities and supply chain are fully operational, with multiple contingencies in place to deal with changing circumstances. We’re fortunate in that the door to the internet remains open. We’re also using this time to continue our push in product development, innovate platforms, and iron out any kinks in our customer experience so we can come back stronger when the challenges that we currently face subside.

That said we know that many of you might be doing it hard or have families affected. We also know that exercise – whether that's indoors, or outdoors, is crucial to all our wellbeing. "There is no pill, no drug, that can do for you what one hour of exercise can," said Greg LeMond. So true. And with that in mind, we will be running regular bunch rides on Zwift so you can join us from your pain cave – stay tuned for more details.

Nicole Moerig, our Love Women's Cycling Podcast host, is also an accomplished yoga and Pilates instructor – @yogeur.co. Why not remain active with one of her core strength videos or work on your mobility, so, like us, you can come back from these challenges stronger than before and raring to go.

Please also feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions, queries or concerns. We are here for you always and grateful for your ongoing support.
