Celebrating Cycling And Music
Truckin’ – What a long, strange trip it’s been
State Bicycle Co. and The Grateful Dead announce a collaborative effort to spread good vibes and take the recent bike boom to new heights. Both State Bicycle Co. and The Grateful Dead have built their respective followings around awareness, self-expression, and freedom. These two brands announce a collaboration to offer a full line of bicycles, cycling apparel, and accessories.
Dancing Bears Klunker
State Bicycle Co. announces it will also produce two limited editions of its popular Klunker, decorated with Dancing Bears
Lightning Bolt Klunker
and Lightning Bolt decals. The SBC Klunker is a retro-inspired combination of a beach cruiser, mountain bike, and BMX bike. The State Bicycle Co. x Grateful Dead special edition Klunkers epitomize carefree days with the wind in your hair.
Each piece is adorned with the most treasured symbols associated with the Dead: the Dancing Bears
and the Lightning Bolt.
State Bicycle Co.’s Co-Founder, Mehdi Farsi stated, “Having teamed up with the Grateful Dead, we are combining environmental consciousness with the free spirit that has characterized multiple generations of Deadheads around the world. The music and the vibe of the Grateful Dead is a perfect match for the expansive feelings we all gain through bicycling!”
Side note – Owsley “Bear” Stanley stated the Bears are marching, not dancing. 😀
This collaborative effort is a continuation of State Bicycles’ passion for combining music, culture, and cycling. As pop culture influences every aspect of our lives, this reflective capsule collection will sell out faster than a ticket to see the Dead in concert.
