Our StoryBlackbird Bikes connects bicycles side-by-side to create sociable tandem bikes. Hoping to encourage his youngest daughter to get outside for more bike rides with friends, in 1993, Jim Black joined two kids bikes together. In 2000, he formed Blackbird Designs as an independent aeronautical and design engineer while continuing to tinker with bikes in his garage. His U.S. patent for a non-intrusive system to connect bicycles earned approval in 2003. With more and more people asking to buy his bikes, Jim founded Blackbird Bikes and has U.S. and international sales in the thousands. Families, seniors, and physical therapists all rave about this sociable bike that allows anyone to enjoy the journey.

Our DesignerJim Black began tinkering at an early age, and was destined to build amazing things that move people. After a distinguished career engineering airplanes, engines, and too many products to list, he turned his eye back to his first love... cycling. Today he works with individuals and organizations around the world to move people who thought cycling was beyond their ability. Turns out what they really needed is a smart engineer on their side so they can ride side-by-side in Blackbird Bike style.
