Spoke + Spool
Ever hopped on your bike only to find that your clothing has been scuffed by the chain at the end of your run? Maybe you’re getting too much wind resistance on those speedy downhills?
If you want wearable bike clothing without looking like you just stepped out of a spandex factory, then this is definitely for you. Spoke + Spool have recently started making clothes for bike riding and the inner city cyclist. They have been transformed from second-hand, vintage clothing with an aim to be as resourceful and environmentally aware as possible. Now your green transport values can be reflected in your clothes too!
Not only are they fantastically constructed pieces of clothing, but they are unique one-offs. Once you buy something, it’s entirely yours, you won’t see some chump wearing the same thing the next day.
Their launch is coming soon, this Friday 25th September to be exact. Set to kick off from 6pm-10pm at Frasers Studio (10-14 Kensington Street, Chippendale), the night will also double as an art show featuring some amazing local talent.
So come and celebrate creativity at it’s finest.
There will be artists, music, beer and fun. I like fun.

As part of a special giveaway, we have some Spoke + Spool gloves to a lucky reader (pictured below). They have an inbuilt compass in them, perfect for navigating on two wheels!
Just leave a comment telling us in 20 words or less why you love to ride your bike. Entries close this Friday 25th at 5.00pm.
The fresh air in the country is lovely riding through and to feel the wind through my hair.
I like to ride my bike because I am too cheap to catch the bus.
hi spooke + spool,
i love to rid my bike coz the scenery flying by makes me dizzy with that ‘oh life’s sooo lovely’ vibe! xo
It reminds me of my childhood riding down at the bike track along the river… and usually stacking it.
I ride for the wind in my hair, and to laugh with the dogs running beside me in the sun.
(Although I’m pretty sure I’m past the entry timeline, thought I’d share).
Congrats to Anya O’Hare you won! Send us an email with your details to happenstance@floodstudio.net and we’ll get the gloves to you soon
