Cuff Links for the Cyclist
Found these online. I have no association with the company at all. Just posting.

I have some with a cyclist on, and some that are made from a chain link. I wanted those in the OP but they were from the US (I'm in the UK) and they were very expensive!
I love my cufflinks, most of my shirts have double cuffs, maybe in the US they are out of fashion...

French cuff shirts are great. Cycling jewellery, not so much. Don't be obvious off the bike is my motto. That said, I made a wicked tie bar out of a spoke. But no one knows except me, and now you.

Cuff links are great! And +2 on the triple crank, lol. Would a double be cheaper by chance?

They look very nice but the price ($250) is a bit steep for me as I wear French cuffs once or twice a year.

Bike shop in San Antonio has cuff links that are capped with links of chain.

A few years ago I did a race in Korea and was presented with Korean Cycling Assoc (UCI) cuff links. I still have them and will bust them out when appropriate.
Way cool.

I love cuff links and triples. Not for $250 though.. one can purchase an actual crank for that.

I haven't had a shirt that needed cuff links in perhaps 20 years, maybe 30. They are stylish, however.

French cuff shirts are always appropriate for a bespoked suit in a formal setting.
Admittedly, most people don't dress that way much anymore. But it's more than appropriate for a tailered suit.

This.
Pretty much any day I wear a more formal looking suit (in my case, dark blue, black or charcoal) I wear a french cuffed (sometimes french collar as well) shirt. I've got 9 or 10 different shirts, and 5 or 6 pairs of cufflinks. Most of mine are vintage that I bought from flea markets/vintage shops, or are hand me downs from my grandfathers.
Less formal suit (tan, light gray) less formal shirt (regular button cuff).
As men, we have few choices in expression when it comes to formal (or in my case, workplace) wear.
You've got ties, watches, rings.... maybe a necklace and your belt buckle.
Not a whole lot of space to express your personality.
I personally like wearing a suit... and cufflinks. it certainly helped me in my college years scoring with the ladies and looking good.
