I wanted to share what drove me to buy my new set of decals:

As a cyclist, I absolutely love nature, mountains (I live in Switzerland these days, originally from the Netherlands), forests, lakes — and exploring all of these. With the impact we’re making as humans and how visible this is to me, having travelled all over the world (glaciers retreating, plastic pollution, drought, and more), I’m very concerned about the future of our ecosystems.

Mostly the fact that some of this beauty won’t be available for others to enjoy. I cannot stomach the feeling how selfish this is and for me riding and exploring is only so rewarding when you can share it. If I cycle through a beautiful place which I cannot share with others, what’s the point? So I’m trying to inspire others as well, by organising the Swiss Climate Classic for instance and to Reduce, Reuse, Repair and Recycle cycling related products. 

But obviously, like everyone, I love a shiny, cool, and fast-looking bike as well — that’s why I bought my Canyon in the first place! With the bike being five years old but still working perfectly, and with so many friends getting new bikes and upgrades, I felt the urge to join in… which brought me a dilemma. Luckily, seeing Pogacar (with his ENVE wheels) and Mathieu van der Poel (with a similar Canyon and white decals) gave me the idea to give my bike a pro look with your decals — and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

The bike now looks and feels new again, and I’m sure it’ll last another 3–5 years. For someone who cares about the climate, that’s such a satisfying outcome that I almost want to tell the whole world about it!

Typing this up, I realize I do want to share it — so here’s a picture of my bike and the Strava link as well, with my Instagram page where I’ll make a post about it soon: https://www.instagram.com/humblesportsadventures/ and https://www.strava.com/athletes/4340154

Thanks again for the great service and for helping me fall in love with my bike all over again.
Wish you all the best with your business — I’ll keep recommending you!
