Fun event coming up from LOOPThe Project Loop is a pretty amazing group that among other things is teaching kids from the local high school how to build a pump track. If only dirt jump building had been an option on my high school curriculum! They also helped us out at the Texas Toast Jam with a lot of helpful […]

Perry Doom flashbackPerry Mervar – AFA Austin, TX 1989 from 990Adjustments on Vimeo. I don’t feel like I get to see enough Perry Dooms these days (jumping from back pegs to grip ride). It would be even more impressive with 10 inch tall bars. Its a great run from back in the day, but check 02:19 especially.

Fairdale’s new dealer in the UK. Sibot BMXSibot BMX in the UK just stocked up on some Fairdales. Pretty stoked to see this stuff getting out worldwide. I highly recommend checking out this cool shop: Sibot BMX . Thanks for supporting us too!

Afro Pat Fairdale ArtI got sent some really cool Fairdale art from my buddy and legendary BMX innovator Afro Pat. Pretty stoked! Bonus: I did a Google image search for Pat Schreader to find a picture of him and it auto corrected my search to Fat Shredder. Hmmmmm….

Fairdale hits Florida thanks to Vélo ChampFairdale is proud to announce that Vélo Champ in Tampa, Florida has ordered in a full compliment of Fairdale Parser bikes. Thanks to Vélo Champ and cruise on over there and check out some bikes.

Fairdale on Bicycle RetailerFairdale got a little write up over at Bicycle Retailer and we appreciate it very much! Thanks guys. I want to know why I have to get up so early for work if I’m retired. Check out the story here.

JC and how bikes are made (now with working link)Jim Cielencki long time BMX pro and head of Sunday Bikes (and a Fairdale rider by the way) has an interview over on ESPN about making bike frames overseas. He’s my office mate here at OTX Design (which house’s the engineering studio for Sunday Bikes, Odyssey, and of course Fairdale). I found it really informative […]

Death Race 5KC Badger and the Daggers are putting on Death Race 5 in Tempe, AZ. Fairdale is adding to the loot pile for the winners. Should be a good one!

Fairdale in CanadaOur friends up at Ryder Distribution are fully stocked on Fairdale Bikes and accessories. Check them out here.

Sweet new idea for coating bikes (re-up)Death row? Water buffalo.

Fairdale Dograck (or Catrack)****** 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 […]

Reinventing the WheelI was looking around today for cool ideas and found a few that really deserved to be brought together. We could just be happy riding around on a plain old normal bike or we could invent something totally sweet! F-1 bikes are so ready for a comeback. Can Fairdale make them please please! Imagine Crabon […]

The Fairdale Lookfar. We’ve got a bunch of sizes, colors and even a step-thru version of this beloved bike. Come ride with us!#fairdale #fairdalebikes

Keepin’ it simple keeps it fun. That’s our motto, and it could be yours, too, on the Ridgemont.

A bike ride can be a much needed reset—a chance to clear your head and enjoy simplicity.

Just step outside, hop onboard, and enjoy.

Our Ridgemont in black retails for $599 (USA). It’s a simple steel bike that comes in two sizes and has eight gears. It’s a fun bike to ride. That’s really the end of the story.

Today on the Fairdale blog we look at our beloved

Our Elevator MTB frame has one of the shortest rea

Our Elevator MTB frame has one of the shortest rear ends ever for a 29er. This trend-bucking feature makes the bike feel very lively. Easily pulling up the front end to manual or placing it where you want on rough terrain fits well with hardtail riding. And, with such an active frame, finessing the bike is the fun part. It is a different sensation than riding a modern full suspension bike that plows through the trail. The Elevator makes any trail at any speed entertaining.

I put a bike check of my build up on the Fairdale site if you’re interested.

Having fun drawing new shirts today. Monty is in the driver’s seat!

I drew this up for the new @greystokebmx mag. It’s technically not a BMX since our rabbit riding our 26” Hareraiser dirt jumper bike. Although, some would say a DJ bike is an old person’s BMX. We would say, having fun in the woods on a bike is having fun! - @tajlucas

One of the main goals of Fairdale is to encourage you to get outside and have fun on a bike, but what if you wanted to turn your bike into a torture chamber you kept inside your house? @tajlucas wrote a blog on the Fairdale site about how you to could join the “fun” of indoor cycling.

He swears it is more fun than it sounds like (or at least more fun now that we have smart trainers).

I often encourage my friends who are looking for a

I often encourage my friends who are looking for a bike to “just ride around” to get a Taj bike. A big-wheeled BMX bike might seem like an odd recommendation, but there is some logic behind it. The Taj model is as simple to keep running as any BMX. Durable parts you don’t have to worry about or constantly service (though, of course, you should service them once in a while). The 27.5 wheels and larger frame mean you can sit down and pedal, and it fits a wide range of riders. It’s not as agile as a “true” 20” BMX, but it is still plenty of fun on a pump track or even just rolling around the neighborhood. It’s just a fun bike to ride around!

In stock worldwide and available now.

With the arrival of 2026 Fairdale starts its 16th

With the arrival of 2026 Fairdale starts its 16th year of making bikes. We’re still loving the work and trying our best to infuse our bikes with good times like this. Thanks to you all for being part of this ride!
