When Sir Frank W. Bowden started Raleigh Bicycles in Nottingham UK, in 1887 we are
certain that he would have pictured you stood here today with your new bicycle, which
comes steeped with the innovation and expertise that you get from designing bikes
for over 125 years.
You see, Sir Frank was a visionary who took a small bicycle company from Raleigh
Street, Nottingham, into every corner of the globe. It was Sir Frank’s ability to picture
the impossible that drove us to create the world’s most recognisable bike brand.
Without his inspirational foresight and huge leaps of imagination we wouldn’t have had
classic Raleighs like the All Steel Roadster, the Superbe and Clubman. Nor for that matter
would we have had iconic bikes like the Chopper, Burner and Grifter. And certainly
wouldn’t have inspired the careers of professional cyclists like A.A. Zimmerman, Tommy
Godwin, Reg Harris, Joop Zoetemelk, Sir Chris Hoy and ‘today’s Team Raleigh superstars’.
Sir Frank’s vision has been evident in Raleigh for over 125 years, helping us drive
Raleigh forward to create today’s cutting edge race-winning performance bikes,
as well as our beautiful classic bikes, around-town everyday bikes and beginner
bikes for tomorrow’s riders. From your first bike to your fastest, Raleigh has been
there every step of the way for generations and generations.
