Bell segment-jr-starwars_falcon.jpgStar Wars: the bike merchandise
You might not have heard about it but apparently the new Star Wars film, The Force Awakens, is about to go on general release, so we’ve decided to round up all the Star Wars related bike stuff we could find.
Stormtrooper Bike Bell £4
It’s a bike bell. With a stormtrooper on it.
Bell limited edition Star Wars helmets
Bell has a Limited Edition Star Wars helmet collection. This is the Millennium Falcon version of the Segment Junior which, as the name suggests, is aimed at younger riders. We’re trying to find out for sure but we don’t think they’ve been brought into the UK.
Bell R2D2 helmet Various prices
The other day we showed you this R2D2 helmet, also made by Bell and spotted in Walmart. We don’t think they’re available in the UK but you can find them on ebay.
Endurance Conspiracy T-shirt £13
This T-shirt shows a bloke wearing a Darth Vader mask riding a bike with two other blokes wearing stormtrooper masks. Why, we couldn’t tell you, but it’s available at £13 rather than the original £25 asking price.
Primal Star Wars cycle jersey Various prices
Primal doesn’t make these Star Wars jerseys anymore, but you can find them lurking somewhere on the internet.
Airo Sportswear White Troop cycling jersey £33.50
This jersey is plainly inspired by Star Wars. You could go the whole hog and get the matching shorts for another £30.
Knight Sportswear Droid cycling jersey £32.95
This Droid jersey is one of several from Knight that have clearly been inspired by Star Wars (thanks to usedtobefaster for pointing us in the right direction here).
Under Armour compression T-shirt £45
We’ve already told you about these Star Wars compression T-shirts, available at JD Sports
Stormtrooper kids’ bike £99.99
This bike with 16in wheels is aimed at 5–7-year-olds.
Women’s Shirt £12.21
This shirt depicts Darth Vader giving Yoda a lift on bike. I’m no expert but that seems an unlikely scenario to me.
Star Wars cycling cap £13.56
These caps are available in different sizes and with different brim options.
Anyone else seen any Star Wars related bike stuff that they want to share?
