Although the Kelion is visible at the Tour, it will be available for us mere mortals in various configurations in September, with prices starting at €219.90.The French cycling equipment brand Ekoi has unveiled a brand new Aerodinamica helmet, made in collaboration with the prestigious design house Pininfarina.
The project’s main aim is to honour Macmillan's contribution to cycling history and preserve the authenticity of his invention. The revived contraption will traverse Scotland, tracing the path of Macmillan's original 70-mile journey from Thornhill to Glasgow in 1842. Endura athlete Mikayla Parton will lead the lineup of participating athletes and personalities.
The brand is also collaborating with Dumfries Museum, known for exhibiting a replica of Macmillan's invention created for the 1896 Crystal Palace exhibition. The museum's curatorial team will support the event, and Endura will donate the bicycle to"The First Bicycle" exhibition in August.
