Alternative Needs Transportation Our passion for the bike industry and the culture of living by bike shows in the creation of A.N.T. "We not only hope to meet the needs of people's commuter bikes, but to influence the consumers to think about bicycle commuting in a more positive way. We love all types of cycling but feel that there is a real need to bring to the table bikes that have the right combination of style and function that is so lacking in the market. Most people have this fear of investing in a bike for commuting, but it is their most-used bike!" |

Parlee Cycles QUALITY Each design element is engineered with a master craftsman's attention to detail and an artist's eye for design to produce the finest quality bike frame. Integrating science and art, Bob has taken advantage of the directional strength of carbon fiber to create a high performance, durable carbon frame. PERFORMANCE The guiding design parameter at Parlee is performance. Bob believed from day one that carbon was the best material for racing frames and has continued to refine his designs with performance as the number one goal. Every element of a PARLEE frame is optimized to give the rider the maximum amount of efficiency in power transfer along with the maximum amount of vibration dampening. Carbon has ideal shock dissipation properties that when properly employed can give a ride quality that is unmatched in titanium, aluminum, steel or any hybrid thereof. The key is properly aligning the fibers. |

Raleigh Street, Nottingham, was the site of a small workshop which in 1886 started producing diamond-frame safety bicycles at the rate of three a week. Frank Bowden, a successful lawyer and convert to cycling, bought the firm in 1887 and in December 1888 founded The Raleigh Cycle Company as a limited liability private company. It grew rapidly and within a few years was a large public company. Today Raleigh continues to sell their bicycles for every occasion. |

Intelligent design, not marketing trends, is what drives Serotta's research, development and manufacturing. The question we ask every day is, "How do we make a better bicycle? One that is lighter, uses the cyclist's energy more efficiently and keeps him or her relaxed and comfortable for the duration of any ride?" Answering this question has led to 35 years of technological innovation. There is not a single detail of a Serotta bicycle that has not been thought through, challenged, tested, broken, built again and ridden for an endless number of miles. |

In 1993, a young engineering student and bike aficionado set out to do what many had tried before him-to build the perfect bike. From the onset, he did things differently, combining aerospace-inspired methods and materials with the passion for fine craftsmanship he had inherited from his Italian ancestors. One cyclist at a time, he custom-built his offering to deliver a perfect fit and singular performance. When his creation became a company, he named it Guru, based on the bicycle's capacity to teach life lessons and inspire. Today, we are a diverse crew of cycling enthusiasts working hard to make a good number of bikes, each crafted one-at-a-time. Everything we produce is done out of our headquarters located just outside Montreal (Québec), Canada-a city that represents the gateway to Europe in North America. Our approach to making bikes is based on combining the best of both worlds: cutting edge technology delivered by hand and with an old school attention-to-detail.

Cycle-Ops went bankrupt in 1999 and were subsequently bought by Graber. Stuck with a great deal of inventory and tooling and armed with the knowledge about leaking resistance units, Kurt decided to apply its precision manufacturing expertise to build bike trainers. The result was a design so innovative it was awarded a patent for its leak proof fluid resistance unit. |
