Description
The Design
This Pedal and Be Proud t-shirt is a bold celebration of the grit and glory found within the Scottish cycling community. The design features a high-impact graphic of a road cyclist in full sprint, set against a distressed, paint-splattered Saltire flag that conveys a sense of raw energy and speed. The phrase “Pedal and Be Proud” is anchored beneath the rider in strong, block lettering, serving as a rallying cry for those who tackle Scotland’s legendary climbs and coastal winds with unwavering determination.
The artwork captures the intersection of national identity and athletic passion. By using a weathered, “splatter” effect on the St Andrew’s Cross, the design reflects the reality of riding in Scotland—it is often messy, always challenging, but deeply rewarding. It is a modern, design-led alternative to standard athletic wear, created for cyclists who want to display their love for the sport and their country with a confident, contemporary edge.
Fit, Feel & Quality
Made from heavyweight cotton with a relaxed fit, this t-shirt is built for everyday comfort and long-term wear. The seamless double-needle collar maintains its shape through repeated washing, while double-needle stitching at the sleeves and hem ensures durability. Taped neck and shoulders add resilience without restricting movement, making it an ideal choice for post-ride relaxation, time in the workshop, or casual daily use.
Most colours are 100% preshrunk cotton. Ash Grey is 99% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton with 1% polyester. Sport Grey is 90% cotton, 10% polyester. Heather shades are a 50/50 cotton-polyester blend. The fabric has weight and presence—this is a t-shirt that feels substantial and premium, designed to withstand the rigours of an active, outdoor-focused lifestyle.
Who It’s For
This is for the road cyclist who takes pride in every summit reached and the mountain biker who lives for the descent. It’s for the club members who ride together through the changing Scottish seasons and the individual explorers who find their freedom on the open road. It makes an empowering gift for anyone who identifies with the strength and heritage of the Scottish cycling scene.
Wear it to your local bike shop, for a post-ride coffee with the group, or as a statement piece during a weekend in the Highlands. The vibrant blue and white graphic pairs perfectly with casual shorts or denim, offering a sharp look that celebrates the resilience and pride of those who choose to pedal through the best of Scotland.
