AGENCY FUNCTION: Put simply, at the Hartford Bicycle Studio we
rebuild, restore, and recycle bikes. But we don’t just slap a new chain and
tires on a rusty Huffy. Our artists strive to create something independently
beautiful in every creation. We hire local artists to paint your bike so that
it breaks away from the crowd with the colors and design of your choosing, or,
you may choose a bike already completed by one of our skilled painters. One of
our goals is to do our part in aiding the growth of the Hartford arts scene by
showcasing the artwork of local artists at our studio and in gallery showings.
We work to promote local events and partner with like-minded businesses to
enhance our culture and our city.
