Flatbike Hosts Kirkland Family Fun Day with Innovative Twist

On June 7, from 1 PM to 3 PM, Flatbike will transform a quiet corner of the Totem Lake area in Kirkland, Washington, into a vibrant space for families and cycling enthusiasts. This event promises an afternoon filled with games, prizes, and unique bike-related contests, aimed at inspiring creativity and innovation in cycling.

The Kirkland Family Fun Day is designed for both seasoned cyclists and families looking for a fun day out. Participants can bring their own bikes to compete in various contests, including slow-riding, mini-slalom, and mini-sprint activities. These friendly competitions will provide a fun atmosphere for community engagement and promote an appreciation for cycling.

Flatbike, established in 2016, has made a name for itself in the cycling world, particularly for developing space-saving solutions for bicycles. These innovations include folding stems and quick-removable pedal systems aimed at minimizing the space taken up by bikes. As bikes can often take up a significant amount of room, Flatbike's products offer easy solutions for urban cyclists and those with limited storage.

In response to current market changes, Flatbike founder Bob Forgrave mentioned, "We can have ourselves a little pity party about part of the business shutting down, or go big and have a pivot party to share deals and celebrate what we're ramping up." With current challenges in the bike industry, including tariffs that have impacted the business landscape, this event marks an opportunity for the company to connect with the community and emphasize their exciting innovations.

At the event, attendees will be able to learn more about Flatbike's pioneering efforts in bike design, which include a range of full-size folding bikes. These designs not only fold compactly for easy transport but also feature lightweight frames and powerful motors, making them perfect for everyday use as well as adventure rides.

Moreover, the event provides an opportunity to highlight their recently awarded “Flatten Your Bike Kit,” which aims to revolutionize cycling by offering tools that allow bikes to be stored in significantly less space without compromising on their usability.

Besides games and contests, Flatbike encourages locals to participate in the festivities by offering door prizes every half-hour, thus enhancing the community spirit. The emphasis is not only on entertainment but also on educating attendees about cycling innovations that can make riding more accessible and enjoyable. Flatbike's location in Kirkland reflects their commitment to serving the local community, evident in their collaboration with events like the 7 Hills of Kirkland bike ride on Memorial Day.

As the last 20 bikes and frames near their inventory completion, this Family Fun Day symbolizes a new chapter for Flatbike. Attendees are encouraged to reach out via Instagram at @flatbike to express their interest in the event. In addition, Flatbike will also maintain a booth at a nearby park to interact with community members and further promote their innovative designs.

Come join us for this incredible day of fun, creativity, and discovery on June 7 at Flatbike in Kirkland. Perfect for anyone who loves cycling or is eager to learn more about innovative bike solutions!
