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.

Everyone has a story. That has been the primary lure of journalism for me over the years. The story. It’s also one of reasons it’s fun to come to Bike Friday each morning. This is an eclectic bunch. Not too long after I arrived, Co-Founder Alan Scholz made a point to have me search out […]
