FAIRDALE TAKES ON THE PLANETThis year, Fairdale’s product line will grow immensely. We are bringing in enough new models to satisfy almost every cyclists needs, which in turn will help us spread some of the magic around. We are looking for International Bicycle Distributors (we’re looking at you Europe) to help us with the launch of our new products. […]

The Illustrated Story of Fairdale

Custom FairdalesToday I did an image search for Fairdale and found these…

Cat 1 CyclistVolunteer Human Society Cat Trapper/ Fairdale Team rider Sandy Carson spotted this amazing Cat 1 rider yesterday cruising the streets of Austin.

Empire mural Day finished!Yeah, I’m done! It’s obviously nothing too deep here but it gave me a good laugh painting it.

Empire Mural Day 6Things are starting to come into focus over at Empire. Got a good solid day of detail work at least, but making headway….

I need Monster truck helpAre any of you out there into monster trucks? I need some help deciphering what I’m hearing on the radio adverts. This is what I think I’m hearing…. in your best monster truck sunday, sunday, sunday voice, “SUPER MODIFIED TWO-WHEEL DRIVE WHEEL STANDING TRUCKS!!!” What the hell is that? All I can only assume that […]

Its a warzone out thereSomedays riding my bike is quiet and peaceful and refreshing. Other days it feels like I’m riding through a battle field and every single car on the road is trying to kill me. I don’t usually think it’s intentional… it’s usually from cars simply not paying attention. Being on a bike in traffic you are […]

Sandy Carson Slide ShowSandy Carson was in a Slideshow Potluck art show the other night. Here’s his segment from the show. Always such awesome photos from Mr. Carson. Watch the show on Vimeo Here

Empire Mural Day 5You can sort of see the shadows starting to take shape today. I feel like I need to spend a whole day up there to really knock this out.

Empire Mural Day 4Well, to be honest I didn’t accomplish a whole lot on the Empire mural today… or at least it doesn’t really look any different. So here instead is a picture of Monty getting ready to head home from last night.

Empire Mural Day 3Today I showed up to empire and just started drawing on the wall. Didn’t really have too much of a plan but knew I needed to fit 19 people on there (Empire team and Empire family).

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!

Good News! Our Macaroni bikes are back in stock and in a new color as well. Cowabunga Green 20” and 24” Macaroni available now through shops and fairdalebikes.com.

The Macaroni is a bike that’s designed to get kids riding quickly in comfort and style. We created it around the BMX principals of having a bike that is durable enough for everyday use and that will also be simple to maintain over the years.
