It is said that to live on Skye you need to be resilient, inventive, humorous, tough, self-sufficient, waterproof, patient and lucky.

You could say the same of being a cyclist in Britain.

At Albion we make cycling gear for all sorts of weather.

For our first spring/summer range, we set out to create a small collection of versatile clothing and accessories to suit the changing British seasons, whilst also steadily evolving our colour palette.

Transmission #002 is a mix of music from Angus Morton.

Angus Morton is a professional bike racer for US Continental team Jelly Belly-Maxxis. He’s also one half of Thereabouts with his brother Lachlan, himself a professional bike racer for World Tour team Dimension Data.

We’ve teamed up with Thereabouts and Cycling Tips to put on a screening of the new Thereabouts film “Thereabouts 3: Discovering Colombia”, to raise money for Qhubeka.

Owen Powell is a data visualisation artist using open source mapping data to create beautifully detailed images and 3D terrain models.

We’ve collaborated with Owen on an original image and 3D terrain model of the Irfon Valley in Wales, a location that features prominently in the photography of Albion season 1.

Britain has a long and distinguished history of producing technical outdoor gear for the harshest environments.

Iconic brands like Berghaus, Rab, Rohan and Karrimor have been at the forefront of technical innovation in outdoor adventuring for many decades.

There is a red phone box on the mountain between Tregaron and Llanwrtyd at Nantymaen, where the Tregaron-Abergwesyn mountain road crosses the Camddwr valley.

A buoy of brilliant red in a vast ocean of muddy green and brown, this now defunct phone box is the only distinctive landmark for miles around.

Transmission #001 is a selection of music produced by British artists.

Every year on a Sunday in October, the British cycling community turns its gaze towards two short, steep hills a few kilometres apart in the farmlands on the borders of Surrey and Kent.

At Albion we make cycling gear for all sorts of weather.

For our first collection, we’ve launched with a small range of four products – a long sleeve jersey, a neck warmer, a waterproof rider’s pouch, and a cycling cap – for autumn and winter riding.
