Companion Bike Seats are a great way to transform your existing bicycle into a cargo bike, without having to buy a whole new bike! Companion Bike Seats easily install on most bikes to allow you to carry a passenger behind you, and give you some extra cargo space with the locking stash-box beneath the seat.
Companion Bike Seats is a San Francisco-based company, founded in 2011 by two life-long friends and biking enthusiasts. We believe riding a bike is more fun when you can bring a friend along. And our bike seat provides a safe, healthy, and green option for getting you and a friend around town. Now your bike can get you where you want to go, even when there are two of you!
The co-founders of Companion Bike Seats have been steadfast friends since their pre-school years. Both have been riding bikes recreationally all of their lives. Soon after the company’s creation, the team brought in an additional engineer extraordinaire to aid in the design of the bike seat frame and make sure it would be able to support someone. The team then linked up with well-known manufacturer, Rick Hunter (Hunter Cycles) in order to construct their first working prototype, proving they could build the bike seat they envisioned - at least for one bike. After two years of designing and prototyping, Companion Bike Seats are finally being manufacturing and the first orders will ship on Sept. 9th.
Not only is Companion Bike Seats a really fun way to get around, we see it dramatically expanding the transport functionality of bicycles, allowing for an additional passenger to ride safely behind the rider. Now bicyclists can offer rides to their friends, pick them up from work or the train station, or even start bike-taxi and ride-sharing services to get people from point a to point b.
The growing popularity in bike sharing programs in major cities throughout the U.S. speaks to the fact that bicycling is quickly becoming regarded as a real form of mass transit for commuting within the city. Several major cities including Chicago, Denver, Houston, and Washington DC have launched programs (just to name a few), and many more have plans to launch very soon. We aspire to make bicycle commuting even more efficient by enabling a second bike-commuter to ride on every bike. Now people can "car-pool" to work on their bike!
