As seen on Shark Tank and backed by Mark Cuban, Guardian Bikes was inspired to disrupt the bicycle industry after the founder’s grandfather was in a serious head-over-handlebar accident. Upon learning that over 200,000 children go to the emergency room every year from bike accidents, Guardian Bikes was inspired to change the industry by becoming a household name for bike safety. Consumers can lean on the disruptive consumer experience through the patented RideSizer experience, the patented SureStop brake technology, and through the quality, detail, and structure of this one-of-a-kind bicycle. Guardian Bikes is a mission-driven brand that is set on educating the world on what a safer bike SHOULD be.
