Miniature Cyclist│Winner Belgium│Bernard & Eddy

Bernard & Eddy are miniature metal statues of cyclists, with a typical retro look. Each statue is a unique hand-painted example and represents a country or a symbolic cycling shirt. For example, there are the champion jerseys of countries such as Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Germany. But also the rainbow jersey of the world champion. The yellow, green, white and polka dot jersey from the Tour de France. And the pink jersey from the Giro d'Italia and the red jersey from the Vuelta. Each cyclist has his own name. This winner with the champion jersey of Belgium is called Freddy.
The cyclists are available in 5 different characteristic cycling positions:

• the cyclist
  
• the sprinter
  
• the climber
  
• the winner
  
• the Thirsty
  

Use the cyclists to play with. Set out a course in the sand and comment on the race. Use them for a board game.  Or give them a nice spot on your desk or in your interior. A single rider, or save a  platoon together.

History
Miniature cyclists first appeared in the 1930s, when the Tour de France decided to promote national teams by creating a publicity caravan. Although they were very popular, they were forgotten in the early 2000s.
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 head and he was already playing with the idea. Finally, he designed a 3D drawing to create a unique mold, from which the first figurine would emerge. 

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

You won't find jerseys with sponsors or logos on Bernard & Eddy's 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...”

Beyond their respective national origins, these champions have all become legendary figures in the collective subconscious. Beyond the cycling world, our joyful peloton will inspire the fertile imagination of children to find their own way around the world…
