Tokyobike

Tokyobike is a small, independent bicycle company founded in 2002 in the quiet Tokyo suburb of Yanaka. The name was derived from the design of the bikes. In the same way the mountain bike was designed for the mountains so tokyobike was designed for Tokyo. Based on the concept of 'Tokyo Slow' the bikes are designed to be light to ride with an emphasis on comfort over speed.

The bicycles are suited to the busy street environment.  Consisting of a strong Cr-Mo steel frame, narrow, flat bars, sturdy looking wheels with thin slick tires and just the right amount of gears they are strong, yet light and fast. There are no stickers, badges or brand names on it. In a group of bicycles it is easily overlooked, which is a great anti-theft aid. The UK website can be contacted here.
