I first spoke to Bridge Bike Works co-founder Michael Yakubowicz in November 2023. I’d already heard about his Canadian brand doing something intriguing up north, since handmade carbon bikes from Canada are a rarity. In fact, I can’t name a single well-known brand that still manufactures domestically.
At the time, Bridge was generating some buzz not only for being a Canadian-made carbon frame builder, but for doing it with a big-brand approach and debuting some intriguing innovations along the way.
