Mission Bicycle

Mission Bicycle, co-founded by Zack Rosen, makes beautiful, customized light steel frame fixed gear bikes. They are opening a new store in San Francisco, located at 766 Valencia Street (at 19th) in The Mission of course.

We started Mission Bicycle because we weren’t satisfied with the bicycles sold in bike stores. The best bicycles on the streets of San Francisco are the custom built fixed gear bikes those with the know-how are building up for themselves and friends. It didn’t make sense to us that these bikes were not available to everyone else so we set out to change that.

Mission Bicycle is having their grand opening party this weekend (May 16th & 17th).

Join us anytime on Saturday or Sunday to meet the guys behind the gears, build a bike, eat some tasty vegan grub, and mix with members of the Mission and SF bicycling communities.

Zack has more about how he helped start Mission Bicycle on his blog.

Always love to see more and more fixed gear bike producers out there. These guys look really amazing and wish I knew the price (maybe so I could pick them up)

I don’t know a lot about bikes, but what is the advantage to fixed geared ones? I’d probably die of exhaustion if I couldn’t change the gears on my little commuter bike.

Vegan food and fixies … self-congratulatory hipsters, ahoy!

With a “price point” of $840 per bike, I assume no working-class locals will be invited to the party. They shouldn’t call it Mission Bicycles — they should call it Bikes White People Like.

So John G-
I guess it was a tall motherfuckin glass of haterade for your whiny ass this morning. Working class Locals? Just what working class locals live in that part of the Mission and ride bicycles anymore? What do you do for a living John G? Such that you have the time to cruise web blogs and leave sarky fuckin comments regarding the opening of small businesses in San Francisco. Oh I bet you’re a fucking coal miner aren’t you boy? Smug, deprecating, authenticatofile ahoy…….
