History│Tour de France
Miniature cyclists originally appeared in the 1930s when the Tour de France organization decided to put national teams in the spotlight by creating a publicity caravan. Although very popular, they were forgotten at the beginning of this century.
Bernard & Eddy has revived this tradition. It is the brainchild of a graphic designer, born in the 1970s when the Tour de France was at its peak. Long before they became a drawing and later a concrete project, the miniature cyclists were already racing through his mind, and he was already playing with the idea. He eventually designed a 3D drawing to create a unique mold from which the first figurine would emerge.
"I try to revive something universal about sport, travel, and dreams. It's the world of the Olympic Games, the World Cup, the heroes of today and yesterday."
Cycling Jerseys
You will not find jerseys with sponsors or logos on Bernard & Eddy cyclists. Instead, they declare: Long live the flags!
"After all, Bernard Hinault is French, Eddy Merckx is Belgian, Joop Zoetemelk is Dutch, Miguel Indurain is Spanish, Marco Pantani is Italian..."
In addition to their respective national origins, these champions have all become legendary figures in the collective subconscious. These cyclists make a great gift for any cycling enthusiast. But they also appeal to the imagination of children to find their own way in the world.
