Changing the world one bike at a time - Road, Mountain, Hybrid and Electric bikes
Born in a barn. The Trek story began in 1976 in a southern Wisconsin barn in the township of Waterloo. Founded by John Burke and Bevil Hogg, this pair of visionaries set out to make a business of building bikes of extraordinary artistry. There were five employees on the payroll when the barn doors opened in 1976. In its first year, Trek produced 904 touring frames. Steel tubing, lugged and silver-brazed, handcrafted and hand-painted with care. A culture of craftsmanship and rebellion was fostered in the young American upstart. Every bend and every weld was charged with purpose, as each meticulously constructed frame broke the convention that all great bikes must come from Europe. Trek was out to change minds. Today, Trek's headquarters is a mile up the road from the original barn, in a much larger facility. Although Trek has outgrown the barn, every bike they make is a testament to Trek's founding principles.
