The Pacific Ocean breeze and the hot California sun gently caress the face of a cyclist crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. They’re heading to the birthplace of mountain biking, Marin county, the community is the genesis, the inspiration and the motivation for Marin Bikes, as much for the bikes they create as for their social implication.
As creators of mountain, road, gravel and recreational bikes for adults and children alike, one of the company's priorities is to ensure that riders who choose a Marin bike explore, enjoy the outdoors and not break the bank to have access to a durable, quality product that is so much fun to ride! Their vision? Bikes are made for adventure and exploration. It's no coincidence that their slogan is Made for fun!
Creating lasting partnerships
With the vibrant Marin County community as their inspiration, the company evolves through the local people. Observing, in the field, what cyclists really need allows Marin to innovate and enrich the lives of riders, not just with trends, but with tangible solutions that will give them the best biking experience.
Local social involvement is of utmost importance to the company. Building communities on a smaller scale to bring together enthusiasts, engage people, and create lasting connections and movements is what Marin is all about. Cycling can provide so many experiences, so many incredible moments. And it's even better when it can be done as a group, no matter what your level or background.
Getting involved, giving back and building
For the California-based company, supporting local projects and giving time and manpower in the field is an integral part of their operations. This passion and desire to build a bike culture is obvious in projects like the Marin Wildside Mountain Bike Competition, the partnership with Les Chèvres de montagne and the investment in the Wolf Bike Park in the Eastern Townships.
Riding a Marin bike is more than just a product or a brand. It's about being part of a community, a movement. It's also about understanding and joining the ever-growing Quebec bike culture. Marin is about adventure, on two wheels!
