Any insight into the name? Origin? Pronunciation? The lone lower case d?

I'm on their email list but have never purchased anything I remember. Also curious about the bibs and jerseys.

the Japanese they use spells out phonetically as: pe da re--do, so.. something like "pedal - Ed" as an American would pronounce it.

this review has a bit about the origin of the brand.

I bought a vest and some winter gloves. The vest is good and there are some nice details they use like two different sized zipper "grabbers" so you know if you are grabbing the top or bottom zipper just by feel. Their winter gloves are excellent. I really like them and are also well designed. I use them regularly, I used the gloves today and rode with the vest yesterday. Based off the two products I own would recommend trying the bib because they are very thoughtful in their designs.

I love your pictures, I love your bikes, I love riding in Marin but I'm so glad I'm not wearing winter gloves in July.

Its was 45F in the windy rainy fog before sunrise. It always darkest before the dawn. Again, I think the bibs are a good risk based on the products I own from them.

Stuff looks great!

I live in Japan and don't ever remember seeing their stuff in any shops, but it doesn't look like they're widely distributed at retail here.

Pulled the trigger on 4 jerseys and 2 bibs, plus some other stuff. Never seen any of their kit in person and I've got my fingers crossed on the sizing, but if I've got to make a return then so it goes. I appreciate their more subtle jersey designs and color/pattern blocking. Will report back once I get the gear!

I own several PEdALED pieces, all exceedingly well made, but the fit can be a bit tricky if you're tall and lanky like I am. The Odyssey bibs are super comfortable and the design is quite clever.

Juliet Elliott is sponsored by them now and she's shown a fair bit of their line on her channel so far.
