Café du Cycliste launch second-hand buying and selling platform

Café du Cycliste has announced the launch of Recyclist., the brands first second-hand buying and selling platform, giving a new life cycle to pre-owned Café du Cycliste items.

The platform has initially launched in France, and will be available to the rest of the world by the end of the year.

In making the announcement the Nice based apparel specialist highlights that – with its clothes designed to high standards, both in terms of their technicality and their ability to last, so as to accompany riders on long term adventures – Recyclist. is a natural step for the brand, with ambitions to reduce environmental impact and promote the circularity of our products and accessories.

The brand states that, “Recyclist. is a natural step in our ambition to dramatically improve impact and sustainability, through the delivery of a platform, with a searchable catalog, which enables riders to sell and buy items in a few clicks.”
