With past champions like the controversial Lance Armstrong and 90s consecutive winner Miguel Indurain, the European event draws in countless spectators with a passion for the cycling sport. "Mounted soldiers in armour" are a source of inspiration for this Bikes & Knights Cycling Wear collection by Studio Natural. The line of performance wear marries aesthetics with comfort and is showcased in a [two-tone graphic pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-one). The black textile is accented with colored elements that are "reminiscent of a heraldic armour's surface". Moerover, the materials used in this line of biker gear ensure cyclists are fashion-forward and comfortable when pedaling their way to the top. Tour de France 2014 runs from July 5th to the 27th with a grand start in Yorkshire, England. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Warrior-inspired Cycling Gear:** Designing cycling gear inspired by historical warriors can create unique and eye-catching options for cyclists of all levels. - **Athletic Aesthetics:** As the line between athletic wear and daily wear continues to blur, fashion designers can capitalize on incorporating stylish elements into performance gear. - **Cycling Fashion for Events:** Creating collections of cycling wear specific to major events, such as the Tour de France, can generate interest and revenue from passionate fans and athletes alike. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports Apparel:** By adding historical or cultural inspirations into performance gear, sports apparel companies can differentiate themselves and appeal to a wider range of customers. - **Fashion Design:** Bridging the gap between athletic wear and daily wear provides opportunities for fashion designers to offer unique, stylish options for consumers. - **Cycling Events:** Collaborating with designers and apparel companies to create event-specific cycling wear can generate excitement and brand recognition for cycling events and races. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Long-Distance Cycling Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brevet.md) - [Bold Mountain Biking Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amlie-graef.md) - [Advanced Thermoregulation Cycling Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-thermoregulation.md) - [Colorful Cycling Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-together.md) - [Adventure-Ready Durable Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/explore-collection.md) - [Reinvented Motorcross Gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-x-fox-lab.md) - [Modest Cycling Gear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cycling-hijab.md) - [Camouflage-Printed Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dosnoventa.md) - [Japanese Bike Culture-Themed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neighborhood-x-palace.md)
