Overview

 

The nada bike revolution begins here.

It’s time to take our power away from the oil companies and the car companies and the greedheads who run them. We’re going to get smart and say no. Now is the time for a whole movement that says no. No gas. No foreign oil. No cars. No paint. No gears. No logos. No cutesy. No bullshit. Brains. Muscles. Humans. 

For $100 (+ $49 for shipping and handling), we’ll send you a membership card that looks remarkably like the world’s simplest bike frame. Because that’s what it is. A naked fixed-gear or single-speed bike frame. You build it up the way you want. With parts you have in the garage or from a garage sale. Or fancy ones you buy.
