REASONS FOR COMMUTING BY BIKE
What is USED? USED is philosophy, USED is culture, USED is art and USED is steel bikes. The only good product is a product being USED. Everything else is a waste of time, resources and of course money. Our message to the world is buy the products you need. The USED Headquarters is in Germany, where urban bike riding is an integral part of everyday life. The bike is a wonderful invention, it takes us to school when we are young, to our first nervous encounter with the first love of our life, to our job through wind and weather, it takes us shopping, where it waits patiently with the other bikes for us to load it up for the ride home and when we get older it keeps us mobile and a lot fitter than we would otherwise be. What other product can offer us so much? USED is moving the world, building bikes that “do things”.

BiGBOY - Take a little “retro”, add a little “modern” and the BiGBOY is ready. This bike is built to carry BiGBOYs, but also at the same time to be comfortable and stylish. Steel lugged frame, hand soldered in Germany, stainless parts, a Hub Dynamo and a Brooks leather saddle and Schwalbe balloon tires (The big ones!). CargoRacks - Carrying stuff is a USED priority. And we don’t mean for camping or kayaking, we mean a beer crate, a stack of groceries and maybe even the kitchen sink! Take out that old granny bike and make it into a real mule train of a bike. We have three racks, one at the back and two for the front. USED Urban Steel Bikes - We have a joint-venture with Allegro Bikes from Melbourne, Australia and have an exciting programme of Single Speed, Track and Hub-Gear bikes in 26” and 700c with various frame sets. The bikes are simple, cool and functional. With their soft earth colors they are a perfect sound track for the cities of this world.
