Rethinking the Jersey: a thoughtful piece of apparel Last year Stolen Goat launched a jersey (see here) to help raise awareness and funds for mental health charity Rethink (www.rethink.org). Very simply, we named our design “Rethink” and incorporated both the colours of the Rethink charity as well as covering our jersey in a positive “plus” […]
Sa Calobra’s little sister: the road to Port de Valldemossa Have you ever ridden the Sa Calobra and wished there was less traffic? If so, you need to try the road to Port de Valldemossa. This little gem is located around 40km southwest of the Sa Calobra turn off, also on the MA-10. There’s an […]
Mandalay to Bangkok Check out our youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EcBY1poxcE Follow our adventure here: https://instagram.com/totalbikeforever/ Hello and welcome to another edition of Total Bike Forever. Here’s a look at this month’s shenanigans. We kicked off the latest part of our trip with a little boat ride from Mandalay to Bagan with our bikes in tow. […]
Last month was a crazy month for weather, we saw all the extremes and everything in between, here in the UK. Sometime at the beginning of the month, we witnessed snow storms and then for a week… the complete opposite – highs of 22C with not a cloud in the sky. Am I going too […]
JOINING THE HERD ‘Any plans for the weekend?’ ask my work colleagues. ‘Yes, I’m cycling to Cambridge’…jaw drop, confused look… ’From London?’ ‘Yes’ ’You’re crazy.’ I smile, shrug and say ‘It should be fun!’ Then I walk away whilst thinking ‘and back again.’ (but I keep that to myself!) This became a pretty standard exchange […]
Stolen Goat clothing has been available to buy on Wiggle since 2015. Our new SS19 Collection will not be available via Wiggle or Chain Reaction Cycles. Some people have asked about our reasons for taking the step to move away from the WiggleCRC platform, which may seem counter-intuitive on the surface of it, so I […]
Kathmandu to Mandalay Check out our youtube channel: https://is.gd/OZb4DG Follow our progress: http://totalbikeforever.com/ Our journey from Kathmandu to Mandalay in text and photos, enjoy! Three countries, six gigs, three religious festivals, one 32nd birthday, one kamikaze dog and one rampaging cow chase – it’s been a busy old month. Before we had even reached Kathmandu, the city […]
It’s been a while since I wrote personally on this blog, Rob does such a great job of managing the content on stolen goat but from time to time I wish I had more time to contribute to this part of the business. Warning // Some Gushy Stuff // Cards on the table… I’m writing […]
Stolen Goat Christmas Gift Ideas Christmas is fast approaching. We get to pack in parties, presents and holiday riding. And we plan next summer’s adventures whilst feeling super-confident after a couple of drinks….. That 300km gravel ride we need to get super-fit for? Done. The “really short” long weekend in Mallorca? No problem, the parents-in-law […]
Bishkek to Kathmandu Follow us here: https://is.gd/cnDMhH Listen to our radio show from Delhi here: https://is.gd/pW2j62 We’re currently sitting in Kathmandu, a city engulfed in a cloud of swirling dust. It’s been a massive change spending the majority of the last month of our adventure in the metropolises of the Indian subcontinent after the remoteness […]
The Herd Friday A month ago we announced 3 winners for our first ever ‘The Herd Friday’ competition. Today we are announcing November’s winner! If you haven’t seen the previous blog click here, but to recap – The Herd Friday is a day in which we share the fellow herds’ photos. We love seeing you […]

Whether you enjoy Christmas or not, it’s coming and is right around the corner. If you’re thinking of gift ideas for yourself or for that cyclist in your life, look no further, […]
Goodbye summer haze, hello winter breeze As the longest heatwave in recent memory comes to a definite close, attention quickly turns to keeping the rain out and the warmth in. Take note – we are talking about retaining warmth, not retaining humidity and perspiration! It’s no good if rain meets an impenetrable barrier in your […]
I can’t quite believe that I’m typing the words ‘off season’ already. Where has this year gone? For many of us, our race season started back in May (even earlier in March if you’re into that duathlon malarky…). So for five straight months we have put the pedal down both in training and our chosen […]
October 2018 Another month over and we draw ever closer to Christmas and the New Year! Again, this month’s weather has been extremely variable and as I write this the sun is shining and it’s a nice day, a few days ago it was a different story. We’ve seen a significant decrease in temperature this past month, […]
The Herd Friday A few weeks ago on Instagram, we started something called ‘The Herd Friday’ which is basically a day of the week we dedicated to you, our fellow goats. We love seeing photos of you in our kit, always have always will and as some of you long-time goat fans will know, your […]
Riding in Africa Living in Africa, there’s a common misconception that wild animals are free to roam through our gardens and dodging wildlife on the way to work is a daily occurrence. Most seasoned travellers know better by now, but I still get asked those odd questions from time to time. No, the wildlife isn’t […]
2019 Race Planning So there I was, making my way around the halfway buoy during the swim portion of Ironman Copenhagen with cartoon stars whizzing around my head after a good old-fashioned kick to the face from someone who’d spontaneously started doing breaststroke right in front of me. A sensible, rational human being would probably […]
Today – 10th October 2018 is World Mental Health Day #wmhd World Mental Health Day is a day created for mental health education, awareness and to rid of the social stigma associated.

Dushanbe To Bishkek Follow us here: http://instagram.com/totalbikeforever/ Check out our progress here: http://totalbikeforever.com/ If there’s one word to describe the last month there can only really be one – Mountainous. We had been looking forward to reaching the dizzy heights of Tajikistan and making music on ‘the roof of the world’ as the locals call […]
Strava Art x Stolen Goat? Thibaut Pinot, Tour de France stage winner, draws a Goat during his 208km “warm-up” ride. Love it or hate it, eventually, everybody takes a quick look at Strava. If you fall in the latter camp, it’s possibly when you see that somebody has ridden a route that when uploaded to […]
SEPTEMBER 2018 And just like that, we wave farewell to another month. October is almost here and Christmas right around the corner…. can you believe it? It’s been another great month for SG and we can’t thank you (The Herd) enough. You keep us doing what we love and what we love is Inspiring Your […]
Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m a swim-bike-run obsessive (and a fig roll enthusiast), so when I’m not cruising around on my bike I can be found hopping into lakes or out for a shuffle. My childhood and teenage years were mainly spent in a dance studio, so when it came to cycling I was already onboard […]
Trans Baviaans South Africans are a weird bunch. We have a penchant for the extreme, we only deal in absolutes like longest, furthest, highest. Any less and it isn’t worth the effort. That’s why a race like the Trans Baviaans exists, and has 1 500 riders aiming to ride 230 km, traversing the Baviaanskloof nature […]
Baku – Dushanbe Follow us here: http://instagram.com/totalbikeforever/ Check out our progress here: http://totalbikeforever.com/map/ This month we’ve been getting acquainted with Central Asia: A completely new part of the world to us. So buckle up for the ride, here’s what went down… They say patience is a virtue and we put this to the test during the first […]
This month has been a strange one for weather. One day its nice, warm and the Sun is out, the next its cold and chucking it down…. Typical, fickle British weather. But, this shouldn’t stop you from getting out on the bike. Remember, we have a collection called Orkaan, designed especially for the Spring and Autumn…. and its […]
Hi, I’m Clare! I’m an avid cyclist, travel-lover and recent founder of Epic Road Rides, the travel website for road cyclists. In May this year, I quit my job as a lawyer to set up a site I’d been dreaming of for years: Epic Road Rides was born! Epic Road Rides is the one-stop shop […]
As one of the longest-running heatwaves in memory slowly starts to draw to a close, it’s time for an update from a recent addition to the herd, the official Stolen Goat product manager, a.k.a The Claw, or me, David Law. As the size of the herd increases annually, my role is to make sure the […]
So, the year is over halfway through and I felt the urge to cycle some new roads and #adventuremore. An itch needed scratching! My cycling homie Laurence and I decided to jump ship, well ferry in this case and headed to Ireland. We had a super early start and a long cycle to the ferry […]
Istanbul to Baku Follow us here: http://instagram.com/totalbikeforever/ Check out our progress here: http://totalbikeforever.com/map/ With the sounds of our festival-set still ringing in our ears, we hot-footed it back to Istanbul, ready to crack on into the heart of Turkey. Having read and heard many great things about this magical land it was time to see what the […]
Feels like Summer has been and gone with the recent downpours we’ve experienced. However, It doesn’t look like it’s stopped the Herd from getting out on the bikes though. Thank you for tagging us in your photos on Instagram, It’s great to see you all. If you haven’t already followed us, make sure you do – […]
Before you get into this – did you know you can join us on strava! Maligned by many for encouraging competitive riding on public roads, the fitness tracking app Strava has the ability to turn even the most ordinary ride into a race. But not everyone uses the app in quite the same way, or […]
Yep, as the title suggests, stolen goat will be launching has just launched a coffee collection. It’s no surprise really…. cyclists and coffee go hand in hand like jam in doughnuts and French in fries? Maybe the last one wasn’t the best analogy but I’m hungry, anyway, we digress. Everyone at SG HQ loves a good coffee […]
Tirana to Istanbul Follow us here: http://instagram.com/totalbikeforever/ Check our progress here: http://totalbikeforever.com/map/ If our first two months on the road were all about finding our feet, then month three has seen us wiggling our musical toes in a big way. What a month it’s been! Starting with our first gig in Macedonia to putting out the floor-fillers […]

The Goat goes to Lanzarote After finishing my 2017 triathlon season with that niggling feeling that I hadn’t achieved my goals – it left me with the pesky decision of choosing another race. Go hard or go home….so Lanzarote Ironman in late May was soon signed up for. This meant a brutal winter of training […]
SG Job Role: Product Manager My qualities: Dogged, honest, tenacious, thorough. A little bit about me: My nickname is The Claw. I started MTB racing in 1993, in the middle of the mountain biking boom. Spectacularly uncoordinated, my results started to improve when I switched to road racing at the end of my last year […]
Riding in Mallorca I do a fair amount of overseas travel for work every year, but it’s never the type of travel where I can settle in, take in the sights and get a feel for a new place. It’s high-paced. I’ll fly for anywhere from 8 to 16 hours to get to Europe […]
You asked…. We listened…. They’re here…. We’re proud to introduce our first ever Tri suit collection for Spring/Summer 2018.

Defeating Winter As we all know, Winter SUCKS! Getting through it is the hard part and all we do is look to Summer and hope that all our Winter training will have paid off. From using all of the various training platforms that are out there, to trying different riding genres, to braving the conditions […]

My First Road Race of the 2018 Season – Tour of the Mining Valleys – Aberystwyth, Wales I had my eyes on this race since early last year. I knew it was a race I would love to get stuck into. I didn’t really want/ envisage it to be my first race of the 2018 […]
Hello! Ashley Oldfield here from Cape Town South Africa. My cycling story has 2 parts to it, the first as a kid, building jumps in my parent’s backyard and learning to fly, whip and tuck and roll out of a bad landing. In the wide open spaces we have access to down south (way down […]
In what feels like a blink of an eye we’re in the 5th month of the year…. almost halfway through!!! The weather has been extremely temperamental over the last four weeks and that has reflected in the types of garments sold. A real mixture of kit has left the SG warehouse, Orkaan jerseys and shorts, new EPIC bib […]
Gearing up for Race Season And just like that almost four months of the year have disappeared! Race season is fast approaching so I thought I would share some of my experiences, training, tips and tricks before the races kick off. It’s been a long winter and for most of us we’ve been turning down […]

The Tour de France comes to Yorkshire, 2014. Photo by Bryan Ledgard.

World Bipolar Day falls on 30th March every year World Bipolar Day is a day designed to raise worldwide awareness of the condition and change the social stigmas regarding the disorder.

Hey guys!!! Well to start off with, I am Luke Taylor, 33 years old from Ellesmere port in Cheshire and I will have been road cycling for two years on my 34th birthday this June. So I guess you could say I am still a newbie to road cycling, but when it comes to riding […]

If you didn’t know, we launched our new SS18 collection in Sa Ruta Verda, a cycle-friendly cafe in Caimari – Mallorca. This is a popular hotspot for cyclists […]
You don’t have to be the ‘superman cyclist’ to break a speed record, but short of fixing a jet engine on the back of your saddle, just how fast is it really possible to go on a bike? These are the fastest speeds ever recorded by cyclists. So you will know what is really possible […]
Our SS18 collection was launched around this time last month. It’s too early to see which will be our best sellers for the season, it’s still very close. The Samurai jersey is leading for the men’s jerseys and Hypervelocity for the Women’s. Below is our very own – Staff Favourites….. Which are your faves?

Snow Day 1st day of spring brought with it Storm Emma – total nightmare! Races were cancelled, best-laid plans came to an abrupt halt. N+1 on the bike front – I dusted off the Fatbike and took the ‘Fatboy’ out. I’m told that fatbikes are designed to be ridden in the snow – but living […]

Six weeks into the new year the steely resolve of that new years resolution has softened into a mushy apathy, the dark days and freezing weather offering the perfect derailment to your well-intentioned fitness resolutions. But never fear, this post is to help you shake off the winter sluggishness, and start getting outdoors even when […]
What is time to talk day? Time to talk is a campaign created by Rethink and Mind – both organisations for Mental Health Illness. It’s a day designed to encourage everyone to be more open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to learn, to change lives. For too long, many people with mental health […]
Essex on Two Wheels + Cake! Because of my job and it’s odd hours, I’m able to take advantage of getting out on some solo rides around Essex. We live north of the river, so it’s probably the easiest place to get to, although don’t get me wrong, I do like the Kent hills every […]
Mud, Slides & Gratitude Winter training is in full tilt. Never has the weather forecast been checked and rechecked so many times. It’s fair to say it’s the hardy cyclists amongst us that brave the bad conditions. The saying ‘no such thing as bad weather – just bad choice of kit’ does indeed come into […]
Towards the end of last year we wanted to soak in as much of the Sun as we could before the poor weather set in. So, we escaped to Murcia, here’s what happened. Murcia Trip 2017 The temperature has dropped and loathe to settle for the poor weather we decided to make for the Sunshine…. […]

So its been a couple months since I last wrote for SG. A lot has happened in many ways I guess. I have made good strides forward in feeling better and seem to be coming to grips with depression and how it manifests itself in my day-to-day. The doc is pleased and thinks I’m ready […]
It’s that time of year where the weather is bleak, the festive cheer has disappeared, we’ve all eaten and drunk a bit too much and feeling perhaps a little less motivated to get back on the saddle. It probably doesn’t help that when we wake up it’s dark outside and being under the covers, wrapped […]
New Year New You – A term easier said than done, for some of us it may last a few weeks, for others, longer…. but ultimately we end up going back to our old ways because it’s what we know! Here’s some pointers on pushing on through… Brush The Dust Off The Bike Now is the […]
As we recover from the recent festivities I thought it would be timely to discuss briefly our upcoming plans for the year ahead and also a brief look-back on 2017. 2017 was by all accounts a thoroughly enjoyable year for us at stolen goat.

When the family are snuggled on the sofa watching Christmas TV, you can be out on the frozen roads, tyres scorching the streets in the cold air, icy snot like crystals on your chin.

Castelli Gabba vs stolen goat Orkaan Ok, so, we frequently get asked how our Orkaan jersey compares with the Castelli Gabba so we thought we’d give you the low-down and let you decide for yourself. The Castelli Gabba, first to the scene, took the market by storm, it was the first water-resistant cycling jersey that […]
With October drawing to a close and the weather being all over the place this month it’s not surprising that most of the best sellers have been from the Orkaan collection. The Orkaan is designed for variable weather conditions, the garments are made from a water-resistant material which is wind-resistant and breathable also. Getting caught […]
Behind the Kit p/b Stolen Goat: Tim Panagis – Motivation Hello Goaters! It’s been a long time since my last post and for that, you have my apologies. I do have a pretty good excuse though because in late August I got married to the love of my life and then soon thereafter headed off on a […]
The nights are cooling down. the days are getting shorter, and the evening air is crisp and tinged with smoke. For many cyclists, autumn marks a time away from the bike, a welcome lull after an intense summer of training. But while some are slipping into an end of season break, others are gearing up […]

The last 3 years have been tough for the cycling industry. In 2012 when stolen goat was formed on a laptop from my kitchen table we were in the midst of a cycling boom. The Olympics, Bradley Wiggins etc etc all paved the way for a mini boost in the sport’s popularity. This is a […]

The trouble with road biking, is that it happens on the road… A road that is usually full of cars, buses, and unpredictable scaffolding trucks with great big poles jutting dangerously out the back….or is that just my neighbourhood?

With the launch of our new AW17 collection and the cooler, changeable weather conditions we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the sales of cold weather garments. For AW17 we had a big surprise install for you. We launched our new sub-brand called Kuro We added 3 more jacket designs for the men and 1 for […]
This year we stopped making the traditional long sleeve thermal cycling jersey. In our opinion, as garment technology has evolved the thermal jersey has almost become redundant. In our view, a great piece of kit should offer maximum versatility to offer genuine value for money. And herein lies the issue with a standard thermal jersey. […]

June of this year saw the Isle of Man host the the biggest date in the British road race calendar: The British National Road Race Championships.

My Journey // Nicole Pugson I was never really ‘sporty’ when I was younger apart from swimming. It was the one thing that I adored as a child, being in the water. My Mum will tell me her horror stories of when I’d swim out to the deep end of the pool, get rid of […]
Summer is now here and the weather’s great! We’ve had the hottest June day in over 40 years, let’s just hope the weather keeps. Time to treat yourself to a Summer cycling jersey.
