Designed by Fred and Carrie, our Limited Edition Portlandia Aristotle bikes feature our integrated cargo bars, subtle but overt Portlandia branding, and birds.

For more information on the Portlandia bike, please visit: http://www.republicbike.com/portlandia.asp

From Portlandia, A Guide for Visitors: “Bicycling is everything Portlandia is: healthy, green, fun, easy on your pocketbook, and loaded with opportunities for smug self-satisfaction. As a visitor, biking gives you unparalleled, up-close-and personal feel for the city, from its leafy greenways to its green leafyways, from its breezy accessways to its accessible breezeways, from its quiet byways to its loud bi three-ways. So, c’mon, bring a bike!”

Our Socrates Cargo Bike for PayPal.  These bikes are used to promote the ability to use PayPal at Jamba Juice.  The Socrates Cargo Bikes are exceptional marketing bikes and a fun way to get the word out.

Thanks to Spike Lee for sending us this picture of him and his “Knicks” bike. We made this bike for Spike for getting around New Orleans, where he’s making his new film Oldboy. The production is also using our Socrates Cargo bike for Josh Brolin’s charracter in the film.

We created a custom fleet of Plato Dutch bikes for the new Freehand Miami.  

The Freehand Miami is a reinvention of the historic Indian Creek Hotel, one of Miami Beach’s classic 1930s Art Deco buildings.  The new Freehand features handcrafted design by Roman & Williams, local food and beverage, a comfortable community atmosphere, and both shared and private accommodations—all just one block from the beach.
