PERFORMANCE THAT PACKS, BICYCLES THAT FLY

Welcome to Bike Friday

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.

World’s largest recreational ride

When the world’s largest recreational bicycle ride, Vätternrundan in Sweden, finished at midnight June 18th with its highest number of participants, Great Britain’s Patrick Stevens aboard his Pocket Llama was among the 18,272 cyclists who completed the full 300 km course. Vätternrundan, held for the 46th consecutive year, starts and finishes in Motala at the […]

A New Fixation, Part III

[NOTE: The ongoing saga of Raz and the fixed gear tikit continue.] Back at the office, my goal is clear. Time to corner Walter. He’s the fixie dude. He’ll fill me in. What, I ask, is the essence of the fixie? Walter drops the basics on me. Stuff I’ve heard before. Low or no maintenance. […]

A New Fixation, Part II

[NOTE: When we last left Raz, he had spent his first 20 minutes ridin a fixed gear tikit around the neighborhood, and decided to take it home for the night.] In the darkness of a cold Oregon night. Through the city. Onto the bike path. Over the river. Sorry Grandma, no woods. Onward on my […]

Super Pro for a King

Here is a photo of Richard King with his Bike Friday Super Pro — Titanium times three! EDITOR’S NOTE: Last fall when Bike Friday faced the challenge of our tikit stem recall, Richard King appeared out of nowhere to lend his assistance. An independent engineer with experience in failure analysis and stress analysis, King came […]

A New Fixation

I spent most of one summer of my youth riding a fixed gear, of sorts. It was a unicycle. Fixed gear on two wheels? Not so much. I’m not a fixie type. Oh, I took one of the U.S. Cycling Federation Project ’96 Super Bikes for a spin once, back when I spent my time […]

The ultimate test

I had been bopping around town with my Pocket Llama, lovin’ life. I gravitated to the Llama because I used to ride my mountain bike all the time. Yes, I was one of those who rode my dual-suspension mountain bike on the road as much as off. That’s because I call it my comfort bike. […]
