Parsers on the looseI’ve sent a few of the production Parser bikes out into the wild and built a bunch of them up doing some final quality checks. Pretty happy to start seeing them buzzing around the streets of Austin. Chase Hawk picked up a Black one and Nina Buitrago is testing out one of the small sized […]

Invisible Roof RackAs part of Fairdale’s revolutionary (probably going to) patent (someday) design series we bring you the Invisible BMX Roof Rack. After two customers saw our Skateboard Rack and asked about the possibility of a BMX rack we put on our engineering cap and came up with this masterpiece of design. A simple, easy and elegant […]

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 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!
