Kick-Start a Cycling Company

Kickstarter.com is a place for people to take an idea or a product they have, share it with the world, and find out if people are willing to back their project with funding. If enough people pledge and the fundraising goal is met, the project is backed, if the goal is not met, the project does not receive any donations, so it's all or nothing. Bicycling is a hot item, and there are tons of bike related projects that you yourself could contribute towards.


Cycling-related ideas and products pretty much run the gamut. There are bamboo bikes, electric bikes, components, accessories, and artistic cycling projects. If you're looking to find some funding for your next tour, there have been a number of successful touring campaigns that individuals have put into action, such as this Florida to California film documentary project. Here are some projects that I've been really excited about.

Magnic Light - The product and creator seem incredible

TiGr Titanium Locks - Here's a successfully funded product!

Explorosaurus - I do love dinosaurs.
