The first thing we did at a recent gathering of bike-y folks was share stories about our very first bicycle. It was delightful to watch each person’s eyes get a little misty and far-off as they detailed how they learned to ride, what the bike looked like and who taught them. And when we were asked to describe our first bike in one word, there were more than a few repeats:

Freedom. Independence. Fun.

Which are things we hear a lot around our national holiday. So to celebrate Independence Day, and highlight what biking means to us, our fantastic design team came up with these images. We hope you like them as much as we do. Feel free to copy, post and share.

Happy 4th of July!
