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.
Each Bike Friday is made to order, because every rider is different. We listen first, build with care, and stand behind our work. We don’t just want to build bikes; we want to build long-term relationships rooted in service, not just transactions.
Our guiding belief is simple: a bicycle should amplify your life. It should fit you, reflect you, and be there when you need it wherever you are in the world.

The things that people do on Bike Fridays never cease to amaze. Tandem owners Ashley Weyman-Jones and Laura Hegarty embarked on an epic -several thousand mile- journey, from the UK to Australia. And if that wasn’t enough, guess what was part of their essential gear? A paraglider. If you’re looking for some serious adventure reading, […]
We recently received an email from Alan Burnstein: I thought I'd send you an email about my Bike Friday that I bought in Spring, 1993. I was living in New York City at the time and bought it to take on the train for out-of-city excursions. I rode it extensively along the lake front when […]
