A vision of one, built with many

Bike Café began with Fritzgerald Géssé and one bike.

What started as a single station is growing into a neighborhood network, shaped by the people we serve.

Our company

Bike Café is the first brand of The People's Company.

Next: Pavilion Hubs, larger community hubs built around food, events and gathering space, and PavilionApps, a free menu showcase for restaurant partners.
