About

Welcome to Cycle Wear Central the new home of Fat Lad At The Back Kit.


If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re a fan of FLAB and you're going to love this too.

I’m Amy, some of you might already know me. I've worked at FLAB since I was 22… I'm now 30, but let’s not talk about that. My role at FLAB started as a designer & buyer but now 8 years later I've worked across pretty much all aspects of the business and I've been mentored by the best, Lynn, to get here. I’ve talked to some of you on customer service, met you at sportives, directed some of you on FLAB's community lifestyle photoshoots and even measured your chests at the NEC bike show.

After all these years, I can honestly say, I know FLAB inside and out, the kit, the people, and what truly matters to this community.

What to expect

  • Same Kit
  • Same Fit
  • Same Quality
  • Same Good Vibes
  • Same Community

The quality of the gear is the same. It will continue being produced in Europe by the same talented teams who’ve been making the kit for 12 years, all of which are adults who are paid a fair wage for their skills and time, because like FLAB that is very important to me.

The easy to understand sizing remains the same. If you were a size 52 in FLAB gear, you'll be a 52 now. If you have never had a FLAB kit then checkout the ‘How to Measure’ and our 'Size Guides' pages.

I am the designer behind your favourites and some of the classics will make a comeback. Think Lanterne Rouge, Classic FLAB branded and of course the Cake jersey.

The ethos stays the same: kit for every body. If you want to ride, I’m here to kit you out.

Same good vibes, always. CWC is for riders of all kinds 5 miles or 100, pub stop essential or optional. It’s cycling without the ego.

You, the community, remain the same and so do I, thanks for joining me on this new journey!

Pre-orders are a big part of how we’re kicking things off and I’d love your support. You’ll see both fresh designs and faves popping up for pre-order, and I promise to make it worth your while.

If you’ve made it this far, honestly well done, high five, grab yourself a treat. 

Thanks for joining me, hope we can enjoy the ride together!
