No Country For SpandexOur own Sandy Carson is just back from a trip out to far West Texas. He wrote up a little journal post… Just been out to the West Texas desert last week, for a couple of photo assignments in Marfa and Marathon. Of course, having time to kill, I had to take the road bike […]

Fairdale Team News: Sandy Carson Just Do It projectSandy has a little write up over on Feature Shoot.com about his on going cat trapping series. I love to tease Sandy about being a crazy cat person but in reality he’s just a nice guy who wants to save kitties from a life on the streets. Read more about what he’s up to (and […]

New Ad!Sandy Carson took this photo which we turned into an ad.

Secrets… secrets… secrets…Well, this photo is from a secret project and you haven’t heard about it yet, but it’s on Vice so go nuts and pretend you aren’t reading about it… Michael Sieben’s Kill The Engine. … and don’t tell anyone.

The Illustrated Story of Fairdale

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 […]

We had the pleasure of working with @newbelgium (again) on this years batch of their custom anniversary bikes, which they give out to employees after working there for a year. Pretty sweet.

These are based around our Ridgemont model and feature New Belgium specific art, spec tweaks and a familiar Fat Tire color palette. We’re stoked on how they came out, so swipe for a closer look 🍻.

Up now on fairdalebikes.com - “LET’S GET OUT OF THE OFFICE AND GO TO RAY’S ON TUESDAY”.

It kinda’ went like this, “There’s a new colorway of the Hareraiser, we should make a video for it.”
“Let’s take it to @raysmtb.”
“I’ve still never been there.”
“Oh man, you have to go! Let’s just make it an office trip.”

And the next thing you know we’re in Cleveland in February on a Tuesday. We had a lot of laughs and rode so much we could barely move the next day (but in a good way). Ray’s is simply one of the funnest places you’ll ever ride a bicycle and we mean that for every level and every kind of rider. The place is made to remind you that playing around on a bike is the definition of good times. Oh, and we have a new color of the Hareraiser. Billiard Green is available now.

Featuring @tajlucas, @theaaronross, @mike_gonz, @nameisbauer and @jedrogers .

All of our MX BARS are back in stock, include the chrome MX-4’s! Ask for them through your favorite shop or hit fairdalebikes.com.

This low-rise chromoly handlebar is a comfortable way to customize your bike with a bit of BMX style. Perfect upgrade to a Weekender Archer or an Express for example, or any bike you want to make rad-er! You’ll need a BMX stem though, we recommend @odysseybmx or @sundaybikes 😎.

Shoutout to @oostfresen_rad_deern who always seems to be on epic adventures aboard her Fairdale, along with @piradler. Swipe through for a few pics along with some words from her below…

“We spend four weeks cycling and rafting through Scotland this January. Our route began at Loch Lomond and went through Glen Coe and Fort William to the Isle of Skye. We went on crossing the outer Hebrides and made our way back. Mainly we slept in bothies or in our tent.”
