About Us

3 years ago I fell in love with cycling, here's how...

When we got pregnant with our first child I looked in the mirror and was unhappy with the dad I would be. I was fat and looked unhealthy. Something needed to change. It started out with going to the gym and running. After a while I started feeling and looking better. I signed up for my first race, a half marathon. 3 months after the birth of my daughter I participated in the half marathon and finished in 1 hour and 45 minutes. I had a great feeling of euphoria and wanted more. I felt on top of the world. 

I wanted to achieve more. Shortly after the race I signed up for a full marathon and an Ironman 70.3.  I bought my first bike of a local marketplace for only €250,-. It was an alluminium bike with rim brakes. My best friend had done the same and together we started training for this big event. 

At first I still preferd running over cycling. I couldn't really get used to the thight lycra jerseys and bibs. But after a while I started liking cycling more and more. I slowly started to understand the culture and fell in love with the fashion. I upgraded to a carbon bike and went on a cycling holiday to the Ardennes with my friends. 

3 years later I wanted to combine my love for cycling and fashion and turn it into my job. That's how Velovoila started. High end cycling clothing for a fair price. Cool and sleek designs without compromising comfort and performance. Have a look for yourself!
