The origins of Le Patron

 

 

Le Patron was founded in 2017 by cycling fans Melle, Joanneke and Rogier. Melle was basically born with a bicycle in his cradle, and he must have been a mechanic in his past life. Jo grew up with the cycling virus, thanks to her father. She puts these cycling ‘genes’ to good use at Le Patron, with original designs. Rogier’s love for cycling started when he was a little boy, when he was watching his Dutch cycling heroes make history in the Tour de France. Cycling has had his heart ever since.

Over the years, the Le Patron team has grown significantly, and it didn't take long before they had to move from their refurnished basement to a real office. The Le Patron headquarters are located in Amsterdam. Less than a 10-minute bicycle ride away from the place where the first ‘Grand Départ’ outside of France too place in 1954: the Olympic Stadium of Amsterdam.

The Le Patron launch party also took place in this legendary stadium! Would you like to see us in action in this Olympic place? Check out this video…
