5 Bicycle Accessories Business Success Stories [2023]

Hello, my name is Michael Shenkerman and I’m the Co-Founder and CEO of Seatylock. I have been in the manufacturing business for the last 20 years and about 7 years ago I co-founded Seatylock. The company is the developer and manufacturer of innovative high-end bike locks.

We launched our first product, The Foldylock Classic, in 2013 via Kickstarter and managed to raise about $44,000. Next year we launched our Flagship product, the Seatylock, and raised about $137,000 in a campaign that received a lot of media attention and public exposure due to the innovative concept and design of the Seatylock. Since sales have increased steadily from year to year and today are around $120K/month.

My name is Nathan Thomson and I am the owner of To Go Cycles. We are a bicycle accessories company founded in British Columbia, Canada. With the recent explosion of microbreweries, I designed a product to help riders combine biking and brew.

Hey Starter Story. My name is Brian De Groodt and I’m the founder of Dispatch Custom Cycling Components. Our customers are some of the most passionate cyclists in the world and we allow them to make their bicycle one-of-a-kind with our customizable headset caps, bar-end plugs, and other tailored additions to their bicycles.

We celebrated 5 years of business in 2022 and count over 20,000 cyclists who have made their bicycles one of one instead of many millions. This year we’ll do over $300,000 and grow our business by approximately 40% vs 2021.
