News / Field Trips

Newport to Coos Bay, OR 117 Miles As John from Prollyisnotprobably.com warned me once about touring, “it doesn’t have to be fun to be fun”. After yesterday I will add my own line to that… “it doesn’t have to be fun to be fun, AND sometimes even then it’s not fun.”

Pacific City to Newport, ORDay 2/ 55 Miles / $1660 raised. Today we woke up in Pacfic City and had a nice breakfast at the Grateful Bread. I (after heavy persuasion from the crew) drank coffee. I think that stuff is pretty gross and never drink it, but I drank it this morning with the promise it would help me […]

Portland to Pacific CityIf it’s any indication of how my first day of riding went let me apologize for keeping this post short. I am so zonked from riding I’m not sure I can keep my eyes open much longer.

West coast field tripDay 0 Over the next couple weeks Fairdale will be on our first official Team Field Trip. Sandy Carson and I (along with a few friends I’ll introduce you to later) are riding bikes down the West Coast to San Francisco. Sandy has already started the journey leaving Seattle a couple days ago.

We’re busy restocking models and getting ready for all the big bike-buying holidays (like Halloween and the Day of the Dead).

Here’s a few Weekender builds, a Macaroni, and an Express that are all looking forward to meeting you.

A little behind the scenes of the little mascot art on the Goodship frames. I try to give each of the bikes a mascot of some kind. It adds a story and personality to the model. A character to guide the bike. -Taj

I wrote a little blog over on the internet (Fairdale site) if you’re interested in some of the behind the scenes here.

@fullfactory is our in-house sales team that sells Fairdale to bike shops. FF also brings @odysseybmx, @sundaybikes, @gsportbmx, and @bsdforever to bike shops in the USA. A bike shop can get anything and everything BMX along with Fairdale Bikes in one spot (and on one order).

The Fairdale Out of Step tee and bottle: I was obviously riffing on Minor Threat’s famous Out of Step album cover with this drawing. I see this scene play out in real life every time I go for a pedal… rolling through town with my eyes up enjoying the sights, but everyone around me has their head’s bowed–hypnotized by their phones. I do it myself of course, but these brief looks from my bike while outside my little screen’s control are refreshing. -Taj

Elevator action! Thanks to @jamie_from_biking 🚲 and @conorbmx316 📸 for this post. Our Elevator is a 29er hardtail MTB for trail riding, but some trails have fun jumps on them!

Our new Weekender Nomad in Metallic Dark Silver is here. We are extra pleased with how this color came out–it has a soft glow to it without being too loud. This Nomad model dresses our versatile Weekender frame with crispy 1x11 mechanical shifting, 700c wheels, and shallow drop bars. It also looks great in alleys at night.

Ask for it at your favorite shop. More info on fairdalebikes.com

Goodship and Out of Step bottle in the wild! Goodship is our steel road bike frame, and we probably don’t really need to explain the water bottle (but it’s also new and in stock). Hope y’all are out riding!

It’s so much more than fun, but it is danged fun to just ride a bike. Clear your head, have a smile, and make some space for processing the rest of the world. Bikes are good.
