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.

When Kirk Toy pops out of his chair, bolts to the door and offers a welcoming hand with a warm smile, it’s more than just the Bike Friday Standard Operating Procedure for greeting a guest. That’s because Kirk wrote our book on Showroom etiquette. It’s easy for him. It comes naturally. “I don’t know how […]
Phil Liggett (left) and Paul Sherwen pose with the Carbon Drive tikit at the 2011 Tour of California. You see photographs like this and just wonder. How does one get the likes of the hallow voices of cycling, Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen, to pose with your bike? Oh, we suppose the short answer would […]
