The Velocio brand story is basically unheard of in the cycling industry. It’s a US based, women first, company that’s less than ten years old selling clothing that’s developed from the ground up. Given the success Velocio has seen during a short time on the market, it seems to be a winning formula. We’ve also noticed the focus on sustainability, representation, and quality.
