Our values

If Cyclik is now a reference in the world of tailor-made mobility, it is because we consider that our mission goes beyond the design and manufacture of bicycles. Our mission leads to more environmentally friendly travel, which results in a more rewarding way of life, whose watchwords are the pooling of experience, French craftsmanship and the use of plant materials. Our vocation came from the ability to offer our customers the possibility to move differently, whatever the journeys; utilitarian trips, sports trips, or trips simply related to the pleasure of cycling.

Nature provides us with an impressive amount of resources to satisfy our needs, all we have to do is look around us to see it. We have raw materials at hand, with properties that can go further than one might think and that can outperform many complex innovations. This bio-inspiration approach has led us to choose the natural technicality of specific plants to apply it to the field of cycling. Indeed, the fibrous structure of bamboo, combined with the mechanical properties of flax, absorbs vibrations to create a perfect balance between stiffness and comfort.

The concept of cycling pleasure is fundamental to us; it is an emotion that emerges from each test of our bicycles, helped by the ability of a well processed bamboo to absorb unevenness of the road surface and to offer a softer relationship to the body through comfort. Cyclik has gradually surrounded itself with the best and has evolved naturally amidst aesthetes, cyclists, designers, business leaders, engineers, hedonists and epicureans; this community is the base of our identity. In our workshop in Lyon, each bicycle frame is handmade; our bicycles are designed for enthusiasts looking for exclusivity and beautiful handmade items.

Demand and excellence are the primary vehicles for the energy we give to the manufacture of our bicycles, based on the principle that nothing is strictly imposed on you, the most important thing is to leave room for your desires. We are proud to offer unique pieces, entirely made by the very same hands during the entire production of a bike. These hands, with a rare know-how, ensure that our customers are the owners of a product that stands out and whose high-quality level is unrivalled.

Lyon as a city of inspiration

Once the mecca for silk production, the “Capitale des Gaules” is still steeped in its important know-how in French creation. It is this extraordinary atmosphere that carries Cyclik’s universe; the warm tones of the architecture, the flavours of the local cuisine and the important cultural heritage inspire us on a daily basis. Lyon has this singular energy that offers us every day a lot of encounters, essential to our personal fulfilment. Both conducive to the development of new technologies and loyal to traditional productions, which have carried the city for centuries, Lyon is the ideal place to discover our bicycles in their place of creation.
