Miniature Cyclist Grégory | the Rider | Bernard & Eddy

This miniature cyclist from the Belgian brand Bernard & Eddy wears the rainbow jersey of the world champion. He is 54 millimetres tall, cast in a zinc alloy and painted by hand. Small enough to work as decoration on a bookshelf or windowsill, and heavy enough to stay put wherever you set him down. An ideal gift for anyone who loves cycling.

The rainbow jersey

The world champion wears a white jersey with five coloured bands: from top to bottom blue, red, black, yellow and green. They are the same colours as the rings on the Olympic flag, and they stand for the different continents. Whoever wins the world championship may wear the jersey for a year — on the road, but on the track as well.

Grégory

Every cyclist by Bernard & Eddy carries a first name. Do you know who this one is? Grégory refers to Grégory Baugé, the French track rider who became world sprint champion several times over. That makes this the second world champion in the collection, alongside Louison on the road.

The Rider

This is the Rider: upright in the saddle, hands on the bars, turning the pedals steadily. It is the calmest of the five positions, and the one that lets you build a convincing peloton. Alongside the Rider there are the Sprinter, the Climber, the Winner and the Thirsty One, all available in different jerseys.

About Bernard & Eddy

Miniature riders first appeared in the 1930s, when the organisers of the Tour de France wanted to put the national teams in the spotlight with a publicity caravan. They were largely forgotten by the start of this century, until Bernard & Eddy brought the tradition back. There are no sponsors or logos on these riders, only countries and symbolic jerseys. “Long live the flags”, as the brand puts it.
