Hello everyone, this is Ishikawa from Circles Tokyo.
Golden Week is finally here!
How are you all planning to spend it?
I imagine many of you are heading off on a trip, right?
I’d love to travel, too.
Being able to bring your favorite bike along would expand your horizons, make the trip more fun, and feel amazing.
I’d love to spend a holiday loading my bike into the car and riding through the great outdoors.
When you think of “travel” and “bikes” coming together to make that kind of amazing experience possible, this is the BIKE for you.
【BIKE FRIDAY】
BIKE FRIDAY was born in 1992 in a small garage in Eugene, Oregon.
The name Bike Friday was inspired by “Man Friday,” a character from Robinson Crusoe who is a dear friend and capable companion.
It embodies the idea of “the best partner, indispensable to adventurers traveling around the world.”
As the head badge suggests, the defining feature of bikes made by BIKE FRIDAY is travel.
We have bikes you can take with you on your travels.
And we’ve made all the bikes on display available for test rides!
Here’s the current lineup at Circles Tokyo!
【Pocket Rocket】
Color: Sky Blue Sparkle
Size: Main 56 cm / (for riders around 175 cm tall)
Price: ¥550,000 (tax included)
The road model with the sportiest feel in the lineup.
It’s lighter than the other models, making it well suited to lightweight touring.
It’s ideal for anyone who wants to tackle mountain passes they discover on a trip, or pick up speed and race through nature, feel the wind, and leave their stress behind.
It rides better than you might expect. Come try it for yourself.
【All Packa】
Color: Flag Red
Size: Main 56 cm / (for riders around 173 cm tall)
Price: ¥550,000 (tax included)
A model optimized for gravel riding and bikepacking.
It accommodates tires up to 2.8 inches, so you can ride stress-free without worrying about gravel roads in the woods or bumps around town during your travels. (The model pictured is from before the update and fits tires up to 2.4″.)
Built to handle off-road riding, this bike turns the usual image of a small-wheeled bike on its head—in the best possible way.
It might be the perfect bike for loading into your car for a camping trip and hitting the trails or exploring forest roads.
【New World Tourist】
*The bike pictured is an archived model; we’re currently building one for the shop.
The most popular model in the BIKE FRIDAY lineup.
As its name suggests, it’s just the thing for anyone who wants to travel the world with panniers mounted on a rack.
Although it’s billed as a touring bike, it can be used for everything from commuting to adventure rides.
Its remarkable versatility has made it a classic in the BIKE FRIDAY lineup.
【Pakit】
Color: Glacier
Size: M (for riders around 173 cm tall)
Price: ¥330,000 (tax included)
Developed around the theme of “Mobile Bike,” the Pakit is BIKE FRIDAY’s most compact and lightest model, designed to make everyday rides easy to enjoy even while traveling.
It folds down smaller than previous models, and depending on the configuration, weighs as little as 6.8 kg.
Its compact size and light weight give it excellent maneuverability, making it a handy way to get around both day to day and while traveling.
We’ve built all four models as complete bikes for the shop floor and test rides!
And of course, if you take one for a test ride and fall in love with it, you can take it home right away. BIKE FRIDAY bikes are usually custom-ordered, so this is a great option for anyone who can’t wait and wants one now!
If you’d like to take a test ride, just ask one of our staff!
