2020 was the most testing of years. For millions, cycling was one of the few balms to get through all the uncertainty and anxiety.
We asked our amazing Facebook group how cycling had helped... this was a flavour of what came back.
What kind of cycling gets your pulse racing? Do you thrive on tarmac or would you rather be at one with nature on mountain bike trails? Is your bike part of everyday life around town, or do you prefer plotting longer cycling adventures further afield?
Or maybe – like us - you love them all, just provided you’re on two wheels!
It's been one of the few positives outcomes of the pandemic: cycling has boomed. Here's what's catching our collective Vixen eye at the moment...
It's largely business as usual for us at VV - we're among the lucky ones so far, with cycling in the UK deemed a valid form of exercise and bike shops an 'essential service'.
So we are still happily taking orders and sending them out to our many lovely customers.
That said, we are taking all sensible precautions to keep you and us safe. Social distancing means that our warehouse staff is reduced, as is the case with many of our suppliers, meaning we are still not always able to get packages out to you quite as quickly as we'd like.
Please bear with us - it's an unavoidable situation that will hopefully not be with us too much longer. Thank you in advance for your patience! x
When we set off on a bike ride in 2010, barely 6 months after we had met, little did we know where it would take us. In any sense.
We spent a year riding over 10,000km through the Americas, an adventure that would change our lives forever.
At the end, in Argentina, we got engaged. In 2012, we launched VeloVixen - inspired equally by our reaffirmed love of cycling and by the problems Liz encountered finding great clothing for our trip. Today, our two cycling-mad young daughters are living testament of the power of cycling!
This is our team outside our Oxfordshire HQ (spoiler: Liz doesn't really live in a basket).

It is raining. Hard. It’s 9am on a Sunday morning in September. It’s very windy and extremely chilly. I’m standing in mud in a carpark by the boot of my car and I’m removing my clothes.
