Shop Trip Visit with our Friends at Bike Friday, 30+ Years Manufacturing in America

Bike Friday is a company that is near and dear to Grin. In fact it was prior visits with them some 10+ years ago that helped inspire us to double down on our own vision of local manufacturing and building a family business that can last over generations. https://bikefriday.com/about-us/our-s... We're so glad that Aaron had an opportunity to spend time on his West Coast Road trip and capture all the things behind the scene that make a operation like this succeed. It's hard work to fabricate in house at this scale, but with over 40,000 unique bicycles built over their 30 years it's a clear example that you can do it. We don't have to be resigned to everything getting made overseas. That's just the easy way. Bike Friday was one of our largest users of our first generation LiGo batteries and had been waiting very patiently for the last couple years for the new 10X model.

Thanks for standing by us during this period and we look forward to a long relationship going forward! 0:00 Intro 1:19 Background Story 3:00 Factory Tour 10:47 Cabling and Finish 11:33 Sewing 11:54 Models 15:04 LiGos
