CIVILIAN Bicycle Company

CIVILIAN Bicycle Company Civilian is a bicycle company dedicated to building bikes for those who choose to explore their world on two wheels. A rider’s ride.

The first Civilian frame was forged by hand in a small garage in 2005. Made by Tyson Hart, a lifelong cyclist with a passion for crafting bicycles as unique as the riders who rode them. From his days turning wrenches in the back of a poorly-lit bike shop to dodging taxis as a bicycle messenger to perfecting his craft as a frame builder, Tyson has always been inspired by the beauty, efficiency, and

simplicity of a well-designed bicycle. Now, with the same fervor, he brings his experience to the masses, scaling up production to offer cyclists the kind of rides they yearn for – bikes with clean lines, smart styling, and unique features.

I’m really lamenting the loss of Alpenrose Dairy this past week. I grew up racing BMX, going to Easter Egg hunts and playing little league there...free sno cone for the kid who retrieves a foul ball! As an adult and races were extra special for me because of that history. The community really lost something unique and extraordinary...

There's nothing better than slipping into a soft, comfortable t-shirt after a long day in the saddle...you know, one that doesn't smell like you after a long day in the saddle. That’s right ladies, I know you sweat too. Or, with it's cotton/poly blend it is perfect for riding and drying quickly while you sip some post-ride suds. The smell, well, that's still all you...

FOCUS & FERVOR

Back in 2005, from the corner of a poorly lit garage, CIVILIAN was born. Back then, every bike was hand-built by Tyson Hart with a simple goal - to build simple and beautiful, purpose-built bicycles as unique as the riders who rode them. A rider’s ride!

That hasn’t changed...what has changed is a realigned focus on dirt first bikes, handmade in small batches, right here in Portland, Oregon. Coupled with an unmatched fervor for what riding dirt really means.

Hart DSGN, sweats every aspect of every CIVILIAN to be efficient, smart and unique. So whether rallying the nearest flow trail, bike-packing the continental divide or racing the local cyclocross series, our uncompromising attention to detail means CIVILIAN makes a bicycle built for you...the rider.
