Linus Bike Parts & Accessories

Linus Bikes is a U.S.-based bicycle manufacturer. Linus' focus is on inexpensive, practical city transportation, strongly influenced by the Amsterdammer commuter bike. With bikes retailing for less than $400 - kids' bikes even lower - the company is targeting the common rider. Available from dealers around the globe; the full catalogue is available online, with complete bikes shipping for free to your local shop.

Founded in 2005 near Los Angeles, a city not known for its friendliness to the cyclist, when founders Adam McDermott and Chad Kushner teamed up to make cycling accessible, practical, and useful. The company has grown steadily, now providing a wide range of adult city bikes and kids' bikes at reasonable prices.

The kids' bikes include balance bikes, small-wheel training-wheel bikes, and small echoes of the adult models. Built sturdily and simply, they're an excellent introduction to cycling.

Adult bikes are also substantially simple. Internal 3- and 8-speed gearing, chainguards, fenders, and lights abound. Single-speed models are equipped with coaster brakes; color schemes are solid, with matching accessories; frames are lugged chromoly.

Linus bikes are eminently practical, elegant, and rideable. Stop by your local shop and see whether one is right for you.
