Dark Cycle Clothing is an [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) shop that is owned by a husband and wife duo. Coryn and Adam are very creative when it comes to their awesome [printed t-shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panda-dunk-tshirts). All of the printing is done in their shop in Tampa, Florida. Each shirt has a bicycle theme, and what makes these tops so unique is that animals are the ones riding the bikes!

Animals of all kinds such as dinosaurs, giraffes, foxes and hippos can all be seen peddling away on [bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trek-bicycle-1). The Dark Cycle Clothing tops come in the form of t-shirts, sweaters and tank tops that come in all sizes, including sizes for children. The shirts also come in all different colors, from super bright blue to basic black.
