What’s new: Pelago Bicycles

The cycling season is in full swing, bringing an exciting addition to our online store: Pelago Bicycles, a Helsinki-based brand that combines minimalist aesthetics with top-notch technology in their urban bikes.

Pelago Bicycles
Pelago Bicycles manufactures bikes for urban cruising, commuting and bike touring. The name Pelago refers to the archipelago, embracing the spirit of freedom and adventure.

FOUNDED IN HELSINKI in 2009, Pelago Bicycles has already achieved the status of a modern classic among Nordic bike brands. Particularly known for their minimalist urban bikes which draw inspiration from traditional bike designs, Pelago’s collection showcases meticulously crafted bicycles with high-quality components and a timeless aesthetic.

You can now find four different Pelago Bicycles models at Finnish Design Shop’s online store. All four bikes boast a sturdy steel frame, full-length fenders and mounting points for both front and rear racks, and can be customized with accessories of your choice.

Pelago Bicycles Brooklyn
The Pelago Brooklyn is a classic urban bike with a low step-through frame and a rear coaster brake.
Pelago Bicycles Bristol
The Pelago Bristol features a diamond-frame stripped of all unnecessary elements, with the finishing touch of a Brooks leather saddle.
Pelago Bicycles Åbo
Named after the oldest city in Finland, the Pelago Åbo stands out with its dynamic beige frame with an easy, ergonomic riding position.
Pelago Bicycles Capri
The Pelago Capri, with its sleek steel frame, offers a modern take on the mixte frame, combining the best features of road and city bikes.

With the separately available Pelago bike racks, you can tailor your bike to best suit your needs.

The Commuter Rear Rack in sturdy steel enables you to transport even larger shopping bags or camping gear with ease, whereas the aluminum Commuter Front Rack provides a convenient space for carrying items like a skateboard or a pizza box. Additionally, the Stainless Steel Basket is perfect for transporting handbags, tote bags or groceries from the local market.

The robust front and rear racks are compatible not only with all Pelago bike models but also with most 26-inch and 28-inch bicycles.

All Pelago bikes are designed with a user-centric approach, taking into account the needs of both avid cyclists and occasional Sunday riders. Special attention has been given to the challenges of urban cycling, such as cobblestone streets, hills and navigating through traffic.

In addition to crafting high-quality and durable bicycles, Pelago Bicycles is dedicated to promoting cycling as a genuine mode of transportation on any occasion: the brand’s goal is to make cycling a fun, effortless and easily approachable mode of transportation alongside other means of getting around. That’s why their collection features a delightful variety of bikes for both short and long distances, regardless of speed or fitness level.
