Welcome to Bike Friday, where we believe the bicycle is still the most efficient, human-centred form of transportation ever designed.
We exist to offer elegant, personal solutions to modern problems: reducing reliance on car culture, supporting healthier lives, and strengthening communities, one thoughtfully built bike at a time.
