‘Step-Through’ Style for Pendleton’s Extended Range

Report this content

British Olympian and keen ambassador of women’s cycling, Victoria Pendleton, extends her best-selling women’s range of 1940s inspired bicycles for Halfords. 

Resonating elegance, the ‘sit-up and beg’ style Ashwell, has received a design update. At £329.99, the navy blue Ashwell honours the classic lines that have become the heart of the Pendleton range. True to Pendleton tradition, the leather sprung saddle with matching handgrips and cream tyres, reflect its design commitment to stylish sophistication. Whilst it’s compact luggage rack and optional wicker basket provides the practicality of a dependable ride.

“Everyone knows I am passionate about cycling,” said Victoria Pendleton, “and I want to encourage as many women as I can back onto their bikes which is why I am so proud of the fact that my classic bikes are for everyday women. You don’t have to wriggle into lycra to ride them and they are perfect for nipping down to the shops or a ride around town or countryside, with friends.”

First introduced in the spring of 2012, the Pendleton range soared to instant popularity and quickly became the best-selling- ever women’s range in Halfords 120 year history.

Key to this success has been the accessibility of its design, which was first mirrored in the now timeless Somerby classic.

To mark the success of the original Pendleton bicycle, the Somerby has also received a make-over. Now available in an ice-cream shade of mint green, the Somerby, priced at £279.99, resonates the pastel vibes that dominate this seasons fashion ‘must-have’s ‘.  Like the Ashwell, the mint Somerby includes all the traditional styling’s that have become expected of Pendleton’s classic range, whilst ensuring that it’s rider’s love for glamour and style is reflected it’s the bike’s on-trend design.

With built in mud-guards, matching brown leather saddle and handgrips, the Somerby not only oozes charm but provides the reliability of a ride that is prevalent to the core of the Pendleton ethos.

To complete the look, get the Pendleton Wicker Basket and the Pendleton Satchel priced at £39.99 each.
