At We Build Bikes, we have a pretty simple philosophy. Ride More. Our mission is to get more people riding bicycles for health, pleasure, and the environment.
We help you do that with resources from recycled parts and bikes to the best accessories.

First Light-Up Ride of 2025! Bike JC has a fun, easy one planned to start the season.
✨🚲THIS FRIYAY! Our first Light-Up Ride of 2025 will be easy, flat, relatively short (~12 miles). JC & Hoboken downtowns, and a bit of riverfront view. Join us! Meet 6:30 pm Grove PATH Plaza; roll 7:00.🚲✨
Free, all welcome, just show up with your bike. We go slow, rock pretty lights and music boxes, but you don’t have to have those!
Also optional, since it’ll be the start of St. Pat’s weekend: green theme!☘️
(FYI If the route looks familiar, it’s the one we took on our first night ride this time last year.)

Instill a love of riding early!
"Balance bikes WORK, people! Training wheels are an absolute abomination. Training wheels teach kids to lean in the wrong directions!"
Wirecutter readers agree: Balance bikes are a better way to help kids learn to ride. https://nyti.ms/3QRzDfl
