IRONBRIDGE BICYCLES
This traditional bicycle company sits in the Unesco World Heritage site of Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire. Ironbridge Bicycles hand builds contemporary cycle frames that celebrate Britain’s industrial heritage plus the arts and crafts history of Coalport village on the River Severn.
Its founders, Pete Bird and Robert Wade, have more than 78 years of combined frame building and bicycle industry experience between them.
“Mass iron production started here in the gorge more than 250 years ago and now we are the only ‘large’ scale metal workers left here,” says Robert.
“Although the industrial revolution started global warming, it is exciting to be part of an industry that is at the forefront of addressing climate issues by encouraging more people onto bicycles and low impact transport.”
The pair apply time-honoured methods to Ironbridge’s three models, whose names 1779, 1851 and 1952 pay homage to key dates in the history of British manufacturing – the opening of the world’s first iron bridge, the date of the Great Exhibition and a boom year for British bicycle manufacturing.
