Urban mobility will liberate the city. It will make it healthier and more practicable. Playful and joyful. Serene and peaceful. But only on one condition: that the space is shared with confidence. Cars, cyclists, e-scooters, walkers or scooter riders, all are actors in this revolution. Everyone must strive for unity, for balance.
To strive for this balance, what we can do is change our way of being perceived in the city. What we can do is be both visible and considered. What we can do is be remarkable.
With Urban Circus, serenely embrace the freedom to go. Be seen. Be superb. Be confident. Assume your look, and swap your raincoat for light clothes.
Urban Circus. Be remarkable.
The message is simple, direct, and extremely effective. The media are relaying the all-out campaign to "make the safety vest and the warning triangle compulsory in order to better signal to other drivers the presence of a vehicle immobilized on the roadway and that of its driver if the latter is brought to get out of the vehicle...".
But this decree, promulgated by the government on July 30, 2008, does not concern two-wheelers (motorized or not), whereas the latter also expected to make themselves visible. Many cyclists and motorcyclists put on their own initiative to wear a yellow vest.
Between 2010 and 2016, the number of people killed by bicycle increased by 22%, according to figures from Road Safety.< /p>
2016: Urban Circus is launched, with the aim of helping to reduce the number of accidents involving two wheels, thanks to a collection of reflective clothing specially dedicated to urban mobility.
1st crowdfunding campaign:
Urban Circus presents its 1st collection of 4 pieces on Ulule. A success with 108 pre-orders in 1 month. This is how it launched the Bomber Cascadeuse, the Juggler Down Jacket.

After a year of R&D, Urban Circus is launching its Jongleur 5.0. A fluorescent and reflective coat, long, quilted, touch pocket and above all with integrated LED lights.
Big success: 120 pre-orders. This jacket will have to wait another 2 years... There was a whole world between prototyping and industrialization that we had underestimated.
