As a fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Research UK, architect Taro Tsuruta built a bamboo bike by hand and organized a 361-mile, five-day cycling trip from London to Rotterdam and back again. Accompanied by friend and fellow architect Andy, these t-shirt ‘jerseys’ were created for the cyclists to wear on their journey. The bright, classic Tour de France yellow shirts explain all aspects of the trip, from the stops along the way to the names of donors, with anecdotes and inside jokes specific to each rider.
