Miniature Cyclist Belgian Champion | the Climber | Bernard & Eddy

This miniature cyclist from the Belgian brand Bernard & Eddy wears the champion's jersey of Belgium, in the national tricolour. He is out of the saddle, on a climb. At 54 millimetres he is small enough to work as decoration on a bookshelf or windowsill. He is cast in a zinc alloy and painted by hand, and his weight keeps him standing wherever you set him down. An ideal gift for anyone who loves cycling.

The Climber

This is the Climber: out of the saddle, weight on the pedals, the way a rider takes a steep ramp. Of the five riding positions the Bernard & Eddy riders come in, this is the only one where he stands upright — the counterpart to the Sprinter, who makes himself as small as he can.

The Belgian champion's jersey

Whoever wins the national road race championship may wear the champion's jersey for a year in every race he starts. For Belgium it is done in black, yellow and red. In a country where cycling is close to a national sport, that jersey is recognised everywhere.

Wout

Every cyclist by Bernard & Eddy carries a first name. Do you know who this one is? Wout refers to Wout van Aert, three times world cyclo-cross champion and Belgian road champion. A rider who sprints, time trials and climbs — and who would suit any of these five positions.

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.
