Cycling in style with eco-conscious gear
The surge in electric bicycles has brought a new wave of interest in bike accessories. Not just any additions, but those that promise both utility and ethical production. Introducing a line of products that blend retro charm with environmental consideration, perfect for both urban e-bikes and rugged gravel bikes.
A basket with a nod to nostalgia
The “Porteur” is a hardy steel basket reminiscent of vintage shopping carts, created through a collaboration between two brands committed to quality and sustainability. It's compatible with bikes from 26 to 29 inches (700C) and can carry approximately 22 pounds while weighing just under 2.2 pounds itself. Priced at around $90, it attaches easily to the wheel axle or fork insert. A deeper “Basket” version is also available at $100 but requires a perforated fork for compatibility.
High-sided baskets crafted in France
In addition to the standard model, there's also a high-sided basket option manufactured by the same French company. This variant offers additional capacity for those who need more space for their urban adventures or shopping trips.
The perfectly fitted upcycled tote bag
An equally impressive offering is the “Cabas,” an upcycled tote bag specifically designed to work seamlessly with these baskets. Crafted in France from waterproof truck tarpaulins and unused fabric stocks, this lightweight bag features six external pockets and comes in five colors at $100.
Options for every rider
The brand caters not only to city cyclists but also to those who enjoy gravel riding and bikepacking. The “Expe” is a double fork cage capable of holding roughly 9 pounds on each side or about 12 liters in volume. Priced at $160 for the pair, it demonstrates both functionality and durability. For those seeking something smaller, the “mini Expe” offers a compact alternative at $25, along with German-made straps available for just over $10.
Broad availability for local and international cyclists
The Manivelle Caddie bike accessories are accessible either directly from their official website or through an extensive network of retailers. With over 40 points of sale within the US and numerous locations abroad (Switzerland, Belgium, etc.), these products are readily available to a global cycling audience.
