Did you say Moustache Bikes? We're talking about those French VAEs that turn heads?

So, what do you say to pedaling in style? 😉

At Jean Fourche (the company eh, you follow 😛), we take the time to pedal, to ride without rush, without sweat. Their mantra? "Not fast, not furious".

B'Twin, the Decathlon group's bicycle nugget, was born under the name Decathlon Cycle. Over the years, it has established itself as the go-to manufacturer for families (and for Auntie Suzanne, who loves her flower basket so much 🌸 ), producing a panoply of models for everyone.

But in 2019, there's a small revolution: B'Twin is focusing on consumer and children's bikes. Gravel enthusiasts turn to Triban, while city dwellers adopt Elops.

In the heart of Lille, the B'Twin Village factory (not really a vacation village, but almost! ☀️) builds these two-wheelers with passion. From race victories to Sunday rides, B'Twin has every adventure covered. So, ready for a ride made in France?

Founded by two brothers who have been following their intuition (and, above all, their love of cycling) since they were 14, Gir's is dedicated to creating an authentic experience with every pedal stroke. 🚴‍♂️

These guys live for cycling: they ride, they test, they innovate and, above all... they share. The twist at Gir's is their "made in Brain" concept. They design their bikes with passion, produce unique models, and even let other factories in different countries use their molds. But even if you use the same mold, the Gir's recipe remains a secret!

What makes Gir's even more special? Customization. With MyGIRS, you can create the bike of your dreams, a true reflection of your (electric?? ⚡) personality.
