Vinylize is pushing the boundaries of design with the launch of our latest collection: CYKLO. This cutting-edge product line is a testament to our commitment to upcycling. In addition, it’s a nod to the timeless engineering of the bicycle brake cable, a concept first patented by George Larkin in 1902.

What sets CYKLO apart? We craft the eyeglass temples from actual recycled bicycle brake cables. This ingenious integration is more than just a design choice — it’s a celebration of sustainability and a tribute to the transformative power of innovation. The distinctive temple design is protected under intellectual property rights, ensuring that this bold concept remains uniquely Vinylize.

CYKLO by Vinylize is a tribute to the power of upcycling. The upcycling process is transformative, using discarded spare parts in fresh new applications. Much like we upcycle old vinyl records to make our eyewear frames, clipboards, lamp shades, mirrors, and more, we’re breathing new life into bicycle brake cables that would otherwise end up in the landfill.

The first CYKLO collection features three distinctive models named after key performers of Queen's 'I Want To Ride My Bicycle". Each frame pairs Vinylize’s iconic upcycled vinyl frame fronts — known for their thick and durable aesthetic — with innovative cable temples. The resulting eyewear feels sturdy, offering unparalleled comfort and flexibility.

Each model is available in four striking colors: black, rust, blue, and green. These options provide versatility to suit a wide range of personal styles, making CYKLO a perfect fit for urban adventurers, cycling enthusiasts, and fashion-forward individuals.

CYKLO is set to debut at the prestigious OPTI Munich 2025, an event that highlights the latest trends and innovations in eyewear. This launch underscores Vinylize’s dedication to breaking new ground in both design and sustainability. By reimagining discarded materials like bicycle cable brakes and vinyl records, our brand continues to redefine what’s possible in the world of eyewear.

With CYKLO, Vinylize offers a new product and also tells a story of creativity, environmental consciousness, and respect for history. It’s eyewear with a purpose, crafted for those who appreciate the intersection of design, heritage, and sustainability.
