About Us

HBG is an access portal for the worldwide community of handbuilt custom bicycles and components. We are read in more than one hundred countries. Companies and owners alike may display their bicycles and related products, and information sharing is encourged.

HBG comprises two main sections, HBG and HBG News. HBG is a industry directory. Since 2016 HBG News has provided reportage on companies and products and events within the artisan bicycles industry, worldwide.

The HBG production team is a creative, widely diverse group of individuals, composed of professional journalists and industry experts. All are active, experienced cyclists.  Our aim is to create a worldwide online community for small cycling-related businesses that connects customers, frame builders, component makers and other manufacturers and service providers. 

We welcome content suggestions, which may be sent to news@handbuiltbicyclenews.com. Please include your location and full contact details with any submission, along with a synopsis of 75-200 words.
