A folding bicycle delivered to your hotel? That’s
the concept of Trixi Group’s bike delivery service in Barcelona,
Spain. Putting a spin on conventional bike rentals from a shop,
Trixi’s delivery service brings the bike to the customer
taking reservations either online or by phone. “We want
to make it easy for our customers. By bringing the bike to them,
they don’t have to waste time looking around for a shop,”
says Trixi Group president Gerald Caspari. “We want to
be the Easy-Rent-a-Car of bikes.”

A happy new year and hearty hello to everybody! Although we
had record sales in 2003, we can't wait to put war, natural
disasters, and SARS (hopefully) behind us. We're incredibly
excited about our 2004 product range - by far our best collection
of bikes ever. We have loads of new technology, some exciting
design partnerships, and hundreds of improvements to show you.
Many of the improvements we've made to our bikes were suggested
directly by our customers - thanks and keep the feedback coming!
