We’re really pleased to “officially” announce the Fairdale Roger bike. This collector’s edition is only available in super limited quantities.
This bike is special to us because we got to build it with our buddies at Roger Skateboards. This special package comes complete with a skateboard. One of our most favorite artists Roger’s Michael Sieben did all the graphics for both the bike and matching board.
Our wonderful little Skaterack just got a little easier to get. QBP the world’s largest seller of bicycle parts to bike shops just added it to their inventory. Just search out Fairdale. If you’re just a person (and not a whole bike shop) this means that pretty much any bike shop you might walk into can order you a Skaterack at a moments notice.
We better hurry up and put this bike out right? Geared Fairdale we are calling the “Weekender” is coming in early 2012!
ESPN’s write up here.
Thanks to a tip from Prolly is Not Probably saw this cool little FOAD FIXED post about using a Fairdale Skaterack to carry 3 boards!
Nice going guys… stoked to see this.
CH4D Treanor helped us out with a little promo for the Skaterack. Gives a little insight into our intense R+D program too.
With the outstanding success of our new Dograck for animal lovers we thought it might be appropriate to repost our concept bikes for animal skin lovers. There are other ways to carry animal carcass’s on a bike you know.

Thanks to Bike Snob I learned about this rather startling $27,000 fixed gear bike.
This bike is completely covered in hand stitched “water buffalo leather”. Although water buffalo leather is undeniably classy I was thinking maybe we could accomplish some of the same type of thing for Fairdale on a slightly lower costs basis. We’re always trying to bring you the latest and greatest in bicycle technology, but we believe it should be affordable.
****** Update: REALLY!! Far too many people are leaving annoyed comments. C’mon… It’s a joke!!!! It’s photoshop (and purposely bad photoshop!! I mean, a 130lb lab on a saddle bag?) No dog was ever even lifted off the ground. We love dogs here. Always have, our office is full of them. We understand our photo is out in the wild confusing people we promise it was all done in good fun and none of our pets were ever even a little bit annoyed by the photo shoot (let alone actually installed on to bicycles). There’s no way that this would work in the real world of course!
There’s always been a battle between man’s two best friends… his bike and his dog. And until now there has been no perfect solution for attaching a dog to a bicycle.
Our Skaterack has been getting loaded up with good press.
It all started thanks to a mention over at the Prolly is Not Probably blog.
Then Wired picked it up and called it “ingenous”! Skaterack on WIRED
Then Gizmodo took it. Skaterack in Gizmodo
Whats really cool is that all these different writes ups are unique… like they actually took the time to write their own version of the stories rather then just copying text from the previous link. They are all very positive and nice about it too. I’m really stoked!
Of course, the darn things still not even out yet. I just got confirmation they will finally be shipping to me this week. Which means shops should have them in a few more weeks.
A few more links on the rack… this one in German at Hightech and Blechk!

Hey, Yes we got a new website going. Simple, informative right?
Got some news on the Fairdale Bikes Skaterack. It will be arriving sometime toward the end of May/ early June. Pretty stoked on the thing and its a really simple easy way to carry a skateboard around with you on your bike.
