On a daily basis, Gabriel Risbud-Vincent bikes to and from the office where he works as a renewable energy analyst. But, unlike those who dress for the ride and then change for the workday, he has tailored his apparel to work either way. “The classic [choice for cycling] is wearing spandex, but an outfit that works for both removes the obstacle of having to change at work,” he says.
Favouring muted tones, Risbud-Vincent opts for collared shirts in breathable fabrics, paired with stretchy chinos. He layers on top a navy twill overshirt with pockets that provide easy access to essential items. Aside from his helmet — a piece that he admits has nothing to do with style and everything to do with safety — Risbud-Vincent’s go-to accessory for biking to work is a bespoke 3D-printed pant-clip that he designed and created himself.
