Best for
- Saying “I know what you ride”: four distinct silhouettes, you pick the one that matches their riding rather than a generic bike.
- An affordable gift for a passion — for the end of a season, a first sportive or a club.
- Discreet enough to stay on the wrist off the bike: 17 mm of wood, a 4 mm cord, no clasp to undo.
Good to know before ordering
- The silhouette is engraved on its own: no name, no club, no date. The bracelet says the riding, not the rider.
- Four types only — city, road, gravel, mountain. No BMX, track or recumbent.
Wearing and care
Choose the bike they ride most often, not the one they like best. For someone who rides both roads and tracks, the gravel silhouette is the most versatile of the four and the most recognisable.
The marine cord copes with sweat, rain and washed hands. Cherry wood is taken off before the shower and the pool: it is a living material, it develops a patina and does not like long soaking.

Frequently asked questions
What occasions is this bracelet given for?
Most often for Father’s Day, a birthday or Christmas, and also after a first sportive or a new bike. It is the gift you give someone whose riding you know: choosing the silhouette proves it better than a generic object could.
Which silhouette should I choose between city, road, gravel and mountain?
Road for a drop-bar bike, mountain for a knobbly-tyred off-road bike, gravel for the one that does both, city for a daily commuter. If in doubt, gravel is the most versatile.
Can the rider’s name or their club be engraved?
No. This bracelet engraves only the chosen silhouette, alone and centred. For initials, see the initials and symbol bracelet; for a date, the initials and date bracelet.
Is the symbol large enough to be recognised?
The silhouette takes up about 9.5 mm across an engraved area of 15 by 10 mm, so close to two thirds of the engravable width. Another rider recognises it at arm’s length; from further away, you see a wooden bracelet.
Can it be worn while riding?
Yes: there is no clasp to undo, the 4 mm marine cord sits comfortably under a glove, and it copes with sweat and rain. It simply comes off before the shower, for the wood’s sake.
How do I choose my size?
Measure your wrist with a soft tape or a piece of string, just below the bone. Size 1 covers 15 to 18 cm, size 2 covers 18 to 21 cm, size 3 covers 21 to 24 cm; two children’s sizes, 11 to 16 cm, are available on some models. Each bracelet is then adjusted by pulling on the cords: the size gives a comfort range, not a fixed measurement.
Is the bracelet water-resistant?
The braided marine cord handles water without trouble. Cherry wood is a living material: avoid long baths, swimming pools and saunas, and dry it if it gets caught in the rain. It develops a patina over time, which is normal.
How do I care for the wood?
A drop of jojoba oil, or any neutral vegetable oil, on a soft cloth whenever the wood looks dry or dull: it feeds the wood and revives its colour. Nothing else is needed.
How long does it take to make and ship?
Every bracelet is engraved to order in our workshop in Aveyron, France, then shipped within 48 h, to your door or to a pickup point. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.
Does it arrive ready to give?
Yes. It ships in a natural kraft box tied with string, with no plastic: it can be given as it is, with no extra wrapping.
Is it suitable for men and women?
Yes, it is unisex. Sizes 1 to 3 cover wrists from 15 to 24 cm, and two children’s sizes, 11 to 16 cm, are available on some models.
Can I give it without knowing their wrist size?
Yes. Each bracelet adjusts along the whole range of its size thanks to the sliding knots, and size 2 (18 to 21 cm) fits most adult wrists. If in doubt, quietly measure a watch or a bracelet they already wear.
How far ahead should I order for a specific date?
Allow 48 h for engraving, then two to three days in transit and two days more for the crossing from France. For a fixed date — a birthday, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas — order ten days ahead to be safe.

Full description
You know what he rides
Road, mountain, gravel or city: four outlines, and only one is right. That choice is the gift — it says you looked at the bike he takes out on Sunday morning, rather than searching “gift for a cyclist” at random.
Nothing else is engraved: no name, no club, no date. The bracelet is worn while riding — no clasp, a cord that takes sweat and rain — and it is nothing like a piece of jewellery. For Father’s Day, Christmas, a first sportive.
Outline laser-engraved on cherry wood, 4 mm marine cord. Handmade in Aveyron, France.
