Pacific-Cycles is a high end bicycle manufacturer established in 1980 ((Not to be confused with Pacific Cycle, Inc.), Pacific Cycles has been pursuing "Living Bike Technologies" with a passion. By staying involved with the needs of serious cyclists, Pacific Cycles created at least 10 innovative designs and functions per year that raise the level of cycling performance. Pacific is best known for its exceptional folding bikes being the father to brands such as IF Mode, CarryMe, Reach and Birdy, and now it is developing into a designer platform for global bicycle enthusiasts.
