As part of the Oregon Manifest's Bike Design Project, we set out to create the ultimate bike for our fast paced, highly dense, and beloved city, New York. Merge is a compact and nimble ride, offering its rider confidence when navigating tight spaces and rough roads. It is an elegant solution with functionality embedded into every square inch to surprise and delight urban cyclists.

This may be the ultimate bike for big city riding
WiredSnap into action
Hidden functionality is built in to every inch of the Merge bike. Extend the spring-loaded aluminum rear rack when you need to carry some light cargo and secure it with the built-in bungee cable. When the job is done the rack retracts back into the tube at a moment's notice.
Ready for whatever the day brings
Merge has a pedal powered dynamo hub juices up your phone and lights the way home. There is also a retractable fender for rainy and lock/cable storage. All of the function, none of the bulk.
