To begin, you’ll need a shiny new bike (or perhaps an upgrade, if you’ve been pedaling the pavement for some time). Shinola Detroit is known for its funky, sleek frames—we love the Bixby, which features an American-made steel frame and fork designed for comfort, utility, and smooth urban riding, in dry or wet conditions.
