Our team

Meet the dedicated team behind Velor, passionate about creating sustainable cyclewear that combines performance, comfort, and environmental responsibility. Together, we strive to innovate and inspire a greener future in cycling.

  • Tom Leezer

    The way we currently do cyclewear is not sustainable at all. It's a take, make, and waste model, and that's just not working. But as a cycling enthusiast and nature lover, I want to help create a better, more circular model. I may only be a small part of the solution, but every little bit counts, right?

  • Peter Roozemond

    Velor combines three of the things that excite me the most: circularity, cycling, and materials science. With the team that we have, I believe we are truly in a unique position to make an impact on the cycling industry. Let's do it!

  • Felicitas Pellengahr

    "
    Since 2020 I have worked as a PhD student at Maastricht University, focusing on sustainability assessments of plastics, particularly in textiles and packaging. One of my core projects is the collaboration with Velor. In this project, we examined the entire life cycle of a Velor jersey. We not only assessed its environmental footprint but also explored strategies to significantly enhance the jersey's eco-friendliness, making a tangible impact on its overall environmental performance."

  • Julien Hervy

    "As a passionate cyclist since the age of 15, I wanted to ride in line with my values! Since 2024, I've been committed to the circular economy with Velor, where I lead Marketing. Also an advocate for the Social and Solidarity Economy, I have been a board member at La Cravate Solidaire since 2021."
