“Here, the real art of the bicycle is for each to have its purpose.”
We want to help you discover what you will do with your Co-Motion, whether it’s a tandem, road bike, ‘cross bike or tourer, it’s really about the kind of adventuring
you will do. Inside, we’ll show you a few of the ways you can enjoy exploring the neighborhood and the world around us on a Co-Motion bicycle made just for you.
Your adventures may include a daily commute, morning and afternoon bonding time with your school-age child, discovering
long forgotten roads into the back country, or traversing the spine of your favorite continent. We
specialize in bicycles that are made to do these things for you, beautifully.
Established 1988
Dwan Shepard & Dan Vrijmoet
Co-Motion Cycles started simply: We built a few bikes for ourselves and our friends, and discovered that we were able to rise to the occasion when
challenged by new ideas or problems. Not once have we stopped questioning the way things have always been done. While finding better ways to make
our bicycles stand apart, we’ve learned more than we ever imagined, from designing new bicycle tubing to the intricacies of our own CNC machining and
maintaining an amazing, talented workforce.
These years have taught us the joy of coming to know the people most important to us: Our customers. From global tourists to Paralympic gold medalists to
the child starting on the back of her parents’ tandem, and everyone who just wants a beautiful bike ride; we thank you all so much. Our business has thrived
only because you entrusted us to build you a great bike. We promise to you that we will make your next bike right here in Oregon with love, with pride and
the care and attention to detail that you have come to expect, as always.

Travel
GetTing There
Where will you be taking your bicycle next? With a Co-Motion Co-Pilot, your bike can fit into airline-
checkable luggage, opening up a whole world of cycling destinations. Co-Motion Co-Pilot bicycles and
the people who ride them have cycled on every major land mass on earth. Yes, even Antarctica.

tires and fenders makes it the perfect all-seasons, all-conditions ride.

pannier for your packed lunch and a change of clothes.
Co-Motion has been the world leader in S+S coupler-equipped travel bikes since launching our Co-Pilot

stainless steel S+S Coupling features interlocking teeth, drawn together by a threaded lock ring. Incredibly,

a Co-Motion Co-Pilot bicycle frame is measurably stronger than an identical frame without couplings.
We offer a wide range of bicycles with the Co-Pilot option to fit all of your travel needs.
Tandem bikes for your commute
Is there a better purpose for a bicycle than the daily duties
of carrying you to work or taking a few groceries home?
We’re avid bike commuters here, proud that our
community rates as one of the Nation’s tops in everyday
cycling.
While almost any bike can serve as a city beast of
burden in a pinch, your choice of a Co-Motion single or
tandem model paired with our experience braving the
Northwest’s sopping streets year ‘round will have you
grinning to and from your most-visited destinations.

Pavement
Co-Motion’s reputation has been built on bicycles that thrive on a great stretch of road. We proved that tandems could be more
than just an amusement, and took them to a higher level of speed and performance. You don’t have to pin a number on your
back to enjoy a Co-Motion road tandem or single road bike. All you need is an appreciation for acceleration and a will to push
your pedals a little harder. Your club mates will be green with envy.
Espresso (700c)
Road Singles
An exercise in the beauty of simplicity, the Espresso is a superbly executed, perfectly balanced, classic
road machine that couples the unmatched ride quality of steel with the ultimate in lightweight design.
Now that you’re back in the muck where you belong, you’ve learned that
with the right equipment, being caked with the cold soup of the typical
cyclocross course is just as fun as tracking mud through the house used to be.
As they say; the devil is in the details.

The Demon’s race-proven and beautifully crafted
Reynolds 853 frame make it easy to shoulder,

larger tires or fenders, yet light and quick enough to challenge your fast friends or even a road race.

A road bike that can take you further. Disc brakes plus room for larger tires and fenders makes it the

incomparable toughness of Reynolds 853 tubes.
Road Tandems

fast, but has wider-range gearing and rack + fender capability.

competitors: ACMUltra 7 aluminum frame with tapered
