After running through most of our stock of shirts we finally decided to re-order. Not only do we now have full size runs of our $10 black logo t-shirts in stock, we also have a new design available. The pictured 100% cotton t-shirt has our skyline logo printed in gray low on the left side, and is available for $12 including USA shipping. The Urban Velo logo is printed small on the right hand sleeve—pass on the left.
Also newly available is a single item to purchase all of our available back issues in one box at a discount. Older issues sell out all the time, but for now you can get issues #1, #8 and #10-#28 for $38 total, including shipping. This item is so heavy it is only available to order within the USA.
We’re looking to re-order a number of merch items, but in the meantime need to move some older stock out of the way to make room. Check out our new Closeouts page for deals on older merch and odd sizes. Some serious markdowns going on — t-shirts from $8-10, $11 DVDs, and our knit cotton hoodies are marked down to $37. All prices include shipping in the USA. Act quick if you see something you like, we are quite limited on some items.

Back when we started selling merch online we dabbled in distributing a number of other bike ‘zines and DVDs along with Urban Velo merch. Over time we cut back on those options, and with our last cart update cut the DVD offerings, and then promptly forgot about the backstock. Some cleaning up of the warehouse (Brad’s attic) uncovered our forgotten DVDs, and it’s your chance to save some coin. We have limited numbers of each—choose from Bootleg Sessions v.2, Bootleg Sessions v.3, Monster Track 8, No Cassettes Vol 1, or Death Pedal for $11 each including USA shipping. Buy the set of all five for $45 and save an additional $10. While only a couple of years old, some of these are a downright history lesson on the current scene.
Black long sleeve t-shirt with the “I Love Riding in the City” logo on the front, with a small Urban Velo logo on the back, just below the collar. This is 100% cotton 5.6oz Gildan shirt. Sizes S-XXL available.
The 2009 back issue collection, Urban Velo #11 – 16, all six issues with full color covers and black and white inside pages. We need to make some room in the merch department and are offering the 2009 back issue set for a limited time sale price of $12 including shipping for the set, 30%+ off the normal price.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone. This may be your last chance to get some of these 2009 issues in their print form, but you can always download the issue absolutely free at the Urban Velo download page.
Both of us here at Urban Velo play a lot of polo, and our first run of “Play Bike Polo” stickers went in no time at tournaments and pick-up events we’ve made it to, so after a lot of deep thinking we decided to make some shirts. 50/50 black t with bike polo on the front and the Urban Velo logo printed on the right sleeve. Pass on the left when not on the court. Small – 3XL.
In case you haven’t had a look in a while, we’ve updated our merchandise department a little, adding a new shopping cart system and generally streamlining our offerings. There’s now just three categories: subscriptions, clothing and print copies/back issues.

I like to play bike polo. It’s a fun game, and with some exceptions not particularly hard on the body, but definitely fosters a lot of bike to bike contact. When you consider all the crashing, sprinting and hard braking, it’s not surprising that I’ve had a problem keeping my polo bike’s wheels true. I mentioned this to the guys at Velocity USA, and without hesitation they sent me a Chukker wheelset to see if it didn’t solve my problems. I told them that I was running a freewheel on my polo bike, and they were especially interested in my experiences running brakes with an anodized, non-machined rim. Having read Jobst Brandt’s theories on these subjects, I was quite interested myself.
Velocity’s Chukker rims are specifically designed for the more punishing disciplines of urban cycling—namely bike polo, as evidenced by the Chukker logo. With drillings of 32, 36 and 48 holes, they’re also geared towards freestyling, heavier cyclists and tandem riders. Of course they’re also a great choice for commuters who want to run a Deep V rim with high-volume tires. The rim’s profile is not entirely new, mind you. It’s a re-issue of Velocity’s proven Deep V ATB rolled into a 700c rim. At 24mm wide, they’re designed to hold high-volume mountain bike tires, they’re certainly at home with 35’s installed. And at 32mm tall, their strength and stiffness seem to be a force to be reckoned with.

Fresh from our
PEONFX friends in Singapore are these custom
Urban Velo black/grey knit hoodies. This is a 100% cotton, lightweight knit hoodie. Features include a pass-through rear pocket and reflective stripe, a thin hood and an embroidered Urban Velo patch on the left arm. The fabric is soft, light and breathable—perfect for a cool summer night.
Sizing note: These run small, so you may find that you need to order a size up from what you’d wear in a cycling jersey or wool garment. Click here to order.
We ran short on these for a while, but they’re back. In black, of course. Our women’s shirts are 100% cotton American Apparel, and at $13 including domestic shipping, they’re quite a bargain. Available in sizes S, M, L and XL.
And while we’re using her photo here, Urban Velo would like to publicly thank Jill for being such a great friend. Not only has she been willing to model for us, she’s contributed to the magazine, done proofreading, helped us stuff envelopes and mail copies, volunteered at events and she gets excited about playing bike polo every week. Thank you.
Yes, we’re using the word “colorways” in jest, but we really do have Urban Velo logo t-shirts in three new colors. Burnt orange, gold and forest green. The new shirts feature a two-color print—white with a very subtle black drop shadow. They’re just $12 including shipping in the USA (additional shipping for foreign orders).
Dahon recently announced the BioLogic Bike Mount for the Apple iPhone (and iPod Touch). It’s said to securely attach an iPhone or iPod to your stem or handlebars. According to Dahon:
The iPhone has a phenomenal GPS mapping function that’s great when you just want to get on your bike to start exploring. But we weren’t able to find any good bike mounts. So we sat down with a partner, drew up the spec’s, and ended up with the Bike Mount.
The Bike Mount features a weatherproof case with a welded touch sensitive membrane so your iPhone or iPod Touch is completely protected from the weather but easily accessible and fully functional.
The Urban Velo merch area consistently sees updates to our stock, with a couple of new DVDs coming in recently. Each coming out of California, No Cassettes and Death Pedal are reminiscent of old skate and BMX films, and add to the relatively new fixed-freestyle collection. Also in stock are the few remaining original copies of Bootleg Sessions Volume 2, along with Volume 3 and Monster Track 8. As with everything else in the store, posted prices include USA shipping.
After some delay, the Urban Velo Store is back and open for business. Along with a new shopping system, we also have new pricing. All prices now include shipping within the USA, with all others paying a flat fee per order. For example, this $10 t-shirt is really $10, shipped to your door. We like to keep things as simple as possible.
