This page lists notable bicycle brands and manufacturing companies past and present. This article relates to pedal cycles. tricycles and power assisted cycles but does not include Motorcycles. For bicycle parts, see List of bicycle part manufacturing companies.
Many bicycle brands do not manufacture their own product, but rather import and re-brand bikes manufactured by others (e.g., Nishiki), sometimes designing the bike, specifying the equipment, and providing quality control. There are also brands that have, at different times, been manufacturers as well as re-branders: a company with manufacturing capability may market models made by other (overseas) factories, while simultaneously manufacturing bicycles in-house, for example, high-end models.[1]
Only brands or manufacturers that are notable as a bicycle brand should be included. If no page exists for the company or brand, then the page to be linked to should be created first or a reference provided as to its notability or the entry will probably be removed.

Bicycle advocacy could be a tireless job, and for many individuals, the considered another weekly assembly is sufficient to keep nicely-intentioned cyclists from contributing to a worthy cause. As you may remember, hybrid bicycles mix favored characteristics of different conventional bikes- mountain bikes, road bikes and touring bikes. They have an elongated frame design that pushes the pedals a few inches ahead of the seat. The ahead abutment of the cleat remains to be afforded by the collaboration between the rear surface four of the pedal platform, situated to the rear of the geometric axis of rotation of the pedal, and the frontal floor 5 of the cleat.
