Sweetpea Bicycles featured in Bicycling Magazine

Bicycling Magazine: Beat Stress and Custom Bikes

So if you happen to find yourself in a supermarket in Billings, Montana or a bookstore in Boulder, Colorado, or the millions of other places where Bicycling Magazine is sold, pick it up and take a slow easy walk to page 86.  There’s Natalie hard at work with a quote about why its so rad to build bikes for women.  The whole issue was oozing Portland, but it sure feels nice to be recognized.

On the digital front, we got some sweet lovin from Etsy and Cool Hunting.  Check it out!

You are where you are traveling through.

A few months ago Nau approached us and said they wanted to do a video about us for their website. We were honored. This was a company that worked in bold stokes. They were ambitious, talented, and incredibly smart. They wove sustainability into everything that they did, and managed to make something truly beautiful. We are so sad to see them go. This video gives you an introduction to Sweetpea Bicycles, but it is really about Portland: why we ride, why we love it. One last thing: I am not sure if they got our Pant Spec, but they nailed the Skirt Spec. My denim skirt fits a U Lock in the back pocket and rides like a dream.
