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 fell into oblivion at the beginning of this century.
Bernard & Eddy has revived this tradition. It is the brainchild of a graphic designer, born in the 70s 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 in his mind and he was already playing with the idea. Ultimately, he designed a 3D drawing to create a unique mold, from which the first figurine would emerge.

“I try to bring something universal about sport, travel, and dreams back to life. It is the world of the Olympic Games, the World Cup, the heroes of today and yesterday.”

Champions of countries

On Bernard & Eddy’s cyclists, you will find no jerseys with sponsors or logos. Instead, they declare: Long live the flags!

“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 unconscious. These cyclists make a great gift for any cycling enthusiast. But it also appeals to the imagination of children to find their own way in the world.
