A Bicycle Built For You
What It Is:A custom bicycle manufacturer based out of Toronto, ON. While of course you can pop into their shop to peruse if you’re in the area, Gallant Bicycles actually offers a totally interactive online module that allows you tailor your dream bike – including the colours, the technical specs, and cool finishes like a retro-styled leather seat or glow-in-the-dark handlebar grips.
Who It’s For:Wouldn’t dad love one of these for Father’s Day? The two of you could even sit down together to plan it out. Whether Dad’s a seasoned cyclist or looking for a more eco-friendly way to get to work, he’ll have a blast customizing his own cruiser (for the record, so will anyone else in your family).
What It Costs:The most basic of bikes starts at about $699, however the more you customize it, the more it’ll cost you. Shipping on the bikes is actually free, while accessories purchases will ship free over $100.
Where It’s At:Visit the Gallant Bicycles shop for a one-on-one consultation or design to your heart’s delight online.

I enjoy a ride on my bike but I’m more into a comfortable ride than designing a bike.
I am a biker, but I wouldn’t pay $699 just to design my own bike. Cool concept though.
I cycle a bit, but have a nephew who would love to design his own bike.
I love to cycle, . My daughter is a serious cyclist who would love these bikes and the ability to be able to design her own.
Yes I’m a cyclist! Looking to buy myself a new bike this year and would love to design it myself.
I am not a cyclist since I was a kid. My husband has a friend who would love to design his own bike.
I am not a cyclist but I might become one if I had a cool bike like this! Lavender, pink and turquoise!
I used to mountain bike, but I haven’t done it lately. I do know several people who would want to design their own bikes!
I don’t cycle anymore, however, I think my son’s girlfriend would love this bike.

Designing your own bike sounds like a lot of fun.
we ride and I would LOVE to design my own bike
I haven’t cycled in about fifteen years; but I have a co-worker who is an avid cyclist, runner, boot camp attendee, marathons, etc. She’d love to be able to design her own bike.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve cycled much, but I’d like to take it up again now that I’m in a place where it would be helpful for commuting. Designing my own would be a nice touch!
I’m just getting into cycling and I would love to design my own bike!
