028 - PAS NORMAL STUDIOS – How cultural power and fashion shape a new generation of cyclists - with Ida Holmen

Episode von MOVEMENT - Branding for the bike industry von ADLIPS Branding Studio · 12. Dezember 2025 · 1 h 24 min

Pas Normal Studios has become one of the most influential brands in modern cycling culture. Few labels manage to blend performance, aesthetics and community as seamlessly. In this episode, Marius and Tim sat down with Ida Holmen, the CMO helping shape that identity, and explore a story that reaches far beyond cycling.

Ida’s background is anything but traditional for our industry. She comes from skateboarding, streetwear and outdoor brands like Volcom, Skullcandy, Urbanears, The North Face and Klättermusen. That mix of subculture, design sensibility and cultural intuition is exactly what she brings into the world of cycling. Her perspective is fresh, humorous, confident and driven by a deep understanding of how communities and brands are built from the inside out.

We talk about the early days of Pas Normal Studios, how design and performance became inseparable, why minimalism suddenly works in cycling and how a small idea among friends grew into a global movement. Ida shares how she approaches storytelling and content, why authenticity matters more than perfection and how the brand stays grounded even as it expands across continents.

This conversation offers a rare look behind a brand that has become a benchmark for modern identity in the bike world. And it reflects exactly what makes Ida so compelling as a guest: openness, sharpness and an infectious excitement for the culture around riding.

If you want to understand why Pas Normal Studios resonates so deeply and how contemporary brand building really works in cycling, this episode is for you.
