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.

Near perfect cycling weather in one of the great cycling cities called like a temptress. Yet, it became increasingly difficult to leave the comfort of the experience inside. […]
