Fairdale has a bunch of really exciting new bikes coming out in the next couple months. The picture above is of the new Flyer-a single speed, bmx inspired, 26” cruiser-which also comes in a smaller, step-through ladies frame as well. This one will be my new daily driver as soon as they arrive…can’t wait to skid my way down the hill to BART every night after work!

Another of the new models, the Weekender, has been making to rounds the past few months on all of the cool bike blogs, and even got a feature on ESPN.com. It’s a 1x9, disc brake, swept back handlebar commuter/light tourer that looks to be a great addition to the otherwise singlespeed-centric lineup. We’ll definitely have a few of these in the shop as soon as possible.

That’s the new, super limited ROGERxFAIRDALE collaboration on the forthcoming Coaster. The guys at Roger skateboards lent a hand in the design department and even produced a skateboard to go with the included Skaterack. If you’re at all interested in one of these, please get in touch with us ASAP; rumor has it shops in Japan have a pretty good lock on a large number of these already…
There’s a slew of new product aside from the bikes coming soon as well. Taj just put up a new Fairdale site that lists details and more info about all the new parts and models coming out this summer. Bikes are slated to start arriving mid-late July…we can’t wait! Good things happening out there in Austin.

We are proud to announce the newest addition to the Cykel family: Fairdale Bikes

For those who don’t know Fairdale; they are a new line of simple, steel city bikes designed by veteran BMXer Taj Mihelich and the brains at Odyssey BMX’s Austin, TX design office: OTX. 

Our mechanic Chris returned from holiday in Southern California with a shiny black Fairdale Parser to serve as his across-the-bay daily commuter. Today he added a pair of custom-fit SKS P35 mud guards, a Portland Design Works tail light, Cygolite 400 lumen headlight, and an Axiom rack to complete the package. 

Look for the full line of Fairdale bikes and accessories in the coming weeks!

City Solve Urban Race

Today Cykel is one of the sponsors for this years San Francisco City Solve Urban Race

“CitySolve Urban Race is a unique urban race where brains beat brawn! Teams of 2 solve clever clues and face fun challenges all while navigating the urban landscape via foot or on public transportation! It’s a scavenger hunt, with all the thrills of the amazing race, mixed in with trivial pursuit, throw in a mini road race and add a dash of cat-and-mouse. And voila! You’ve got CitySolve Urban Race!”

We are hoping that the rainy weather doesn’t bring the racers down. Good luck to all participants on behalf of the Cykel Team.
