Restock coming late-November 2023!

If you, like us, cannot get enough of the photos from the Rough Stuff Fellowship Archives, then here’s a sweet little taste of historical cycling goodness you can share with friends.

About RSF, from their website:

The Rough-Stuff Fellowship was established in a pub near the Welsh/English border in 1955, making it the oldest off-road cycling club in the world.

The club welcomed men and women, young and old. And their adventures across the UK and the world were documented by many talented photographers.

Recently, the club appointed an archivist, and the photos, hand-drawn maps and memories poured in – an unexpected treasure trove of incredible value and beauty.

The photos are full of the joy of riding your bike, and evocative of a bygone style – of a time when you might set off on a club ride wearing a shirt and tie, a deerstalker or a bobble hat, and no ride was complete without a stop to brew up some tea and smoke a pipe.

Not only is the archive full of beautiful pictures, it is also of historical significance. Among many foreign trips, RSF members completed the first known traverse by bicycle of Iceland’s mountainous interior, in 1958.

In their own quiet, very British way, these men and women were pioneers, pedalling and carrying their bikes and pitching their tents where angels feared to tread.

Mountain bikes, gravel bikes, bikepacking – everything followed in the tyre tracks of the RSF. This book celebrates their style and their spirit.

Each pack includes 8 blank-inside cards and envelopes, two of each of four different designs. We’re importing these from the UK, so had to price these with international shipping + duties in mind.

If you’re looking for the full RSF treatment, we’re also offering both volumes of RSF books.
