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.

On Tuesday morning, LeeAnne Fergason of the Bicycle Transportation Alliance in […]
BY RAZ Everything came together rather quickly. I suddenly found myself with a free weekend. The girls were out of town. Just me and Ridgely, my black lab. Time for a quick camping getaway. My sights were set on a long hike I’ve been saving up for such an occasion. Since we’d be camping alone […]
Not really. See, this graffiti artist Gabe DeLao stopped by the Factory . “Listen, you have trouble with taggers,” he said. “They tag blank walls. But if you have artwork, they respect it, and leave it alone.” Kinda made sense to us, especially when Gabe admitted that he started as one of those taggers when […]
