Yes, we have a new baby! Now we’re ready to announce our humble online business. We’ll start really small, simple and eventually grow it. It’s an online business, a brand by Josiah Ng featuring new gloves to start and we will eventually branch out into the creation of other cycling gear.
Josiah came up with the designs of the gloves as he respected the needs of cyclists; road and track alike to cater for different weather for people from all around the world.
He identified that Keirinjo (it means “cycling track” in Japan, not really Keirin Josiah, lolz!) is suitable for those in the Keirin event because of the nature of the sport, where cyclists are slightly more prone to crash. These gloves would protect hands with the carbon fibre bit on the knuckles.
Streamline are both lighter in weight but also provide grip for cyclists. If you’re thinking of losing those callouses off your hands, this is the time to consider those gloves.
We ship locally (Australia) and internationally. For the pricing of the gloves and full details on how you can purchase them, click on the logo image below:
5bling.com is a collaborative husband and wife effort by Mr. & Mrs. Josiah Ng. Josiah does the sourcing, sales and promotion, I do the groundwork of public relations, putting the site together, administrative, marketing and getting the orders out. It’s fun and exciting. Something we start together and we’ll let our business ideas flow, who knows if it might develop into something bigger. For now, we want everyone to have fun. Enjoy wearing the gloves, start cycling or maybe buy it for a friend of yours who cycles. Prices are affordable.
Why 5bling? Here’s an excerpt of what I wrote on the website:
Maybe 5 is a lucky number for Josiah, not just because his surname is “5″ in Cantonese – Ng, but because 5 means alot to us; 5 fingers on each hand, 5 toes on each foot, 5-spoked wheels, anything else 5 – you name it. Bling, there is a star in every one of us.
