About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison,
Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment
that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way.
Instead of being just another company that develops and sells
products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help
bring about positive change for people, their communities, and
the environment.
Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have
always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help
improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the
start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which
seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities
friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of
company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle
usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.
Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of
a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and
practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design
and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the
company's short ten year history, they have made important
product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements
include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the
industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad
for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation.
Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to
evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always
striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to
ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of
the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010,
they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that
are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.
