We recently traveled to Asia to meet our local distributors. Why? Because Overade is very well represented over there, especially in Korea, Hong Kong and Indonesia! They are crazy about our folding helmets!

Very good business potential for Overade in this region of the world and people are just sooooo nice there. So we’ll be back in Asia for sure, and with a huge pleasure!

2019 - a crucial year to cycle in France

September 14th 2018, Prime minister Edouard Philippe launched a “plan vélo” to be implemented in 2019. What is a “plan vélo”? An ambitious political strategy to increase the power of bike in the French population.

The objective of the plan is to increase the % of people using their bike everyday to commute from 3% to 9% in 2024.

How do they want to do so? Here are main ideas.

1) increase the number of bike lanes and overall create a more friendly environnment for cyclists in cities

2) reduce bike theft encouraging bike marking and creating more secured bike parks

3) propose tax incentives to individuals and companies when buying bikes and ebikes

4) develop a biking culture in France, starting with kids and promoting huge value added of biking regularly.

This plan is clearly ambitious. Money the French government is planning to invest in this plan seems relevant comparing to their expectations (we talk about 500 millions euros). So we’re all happy about this good news and wish this plan the best possible success!

2018 was the year we launched our new innovation LOXI!

But what is LOXI? A secure bag allowing you to store, directly on your bike in a safe and waterproof device your bike accessories such as your helmet, your gloves, safety vest, lights, etc etc...to be fully hands free once parked.

How can it be secured? Because it’s made with an anti-cut fabric 40% stronger than kevlar and a cable lock of 12mm/4 digit is inserted in the bag to firmly attach it on your bike.

How to use LOXI? As a rear trunk bag when riding thanks to its fastening straps. As a storage bag once parked to have to carry with you. And if empty when riding, you can roll it completely thus having a very small item to carry with you.

Discovering LOXI in details, you’ll quickly realise it will become a must have accessory.

France makes cycle helmets compulsory for children under the age of 12

The new law came into effect on 22 March 2017 and affect all children under the age of 12. Adults who are carrying a non-helmet wearing child on their bike, or who are accompanying a child who is cycling without wearing one, will be liable to a fine of €135.

France saw a 7-percent hike in cyclist road deaths last year. Some 26 children have died from bike accidents between 2011 and 2015. And wearing a helmet can reduce the risk of a serious head injury by 70 percent, the risk of minor injury by 31 percent, and the risk of facial injuries by 28 percent !

"If parents aren't wearing helmets, their children will ask them about it. We want to pass on the message through the voices of the children," Emmanuel Barbe, the government's road safety tsar, told Le Parisien newspaper. This low encouraged the helmet wearing for everyone and we support this initiative.

If you plan to visit our nice country this summer, we wanted to warn you, not to be surprised 😊
