“As cliché as it sounds, every time I go to prep a frame I try to make it the best frame I’ve ever done,” Kyle says.

It’s in that earthmoving spirit, that Kyle and Detroit Bikes is working together to become better, faster, stronger. Detroit Bikes is a part of Detroit’s history, and the company is bringing it back in a bold, new way.

Kyle preps bike frames on the line at Detroit Bikes, a grassroots startup that is bringing back the city’s assembly line to produce custom bicycles. It’s not mass production, though the company can produce a bike every 8 minutes if need be. Kyle is a cog in a well-oiled machine, one that’s powered by collaboration and community. Each person on the line is an expert in what they do, and together they build truly gorgeous products.

“Being bold is putting everything you have into what you’re doing, literally everything you’ve got. All your energy, all your focus. Every time I come to work, I’m trying to put all I have into what I’m doing,” Kyle says.

“It comes back to being fully committed again. Especially when you’re riding, it’s a 50/50 shot,” Kyle says. “You’re going to plan on doing what you’re doing or you’re going to hit the ground. If you’re not fully committed to it—if you’re not doing it boldly—you always have that risk of hitting the ground.”
