There’s a light dusting of snow outside so perhaps our fixation with bikes and cycling will soon be replaced by one for skiing. In the meantime there’s just enough time to introduce you to another beautifully designed bike from Scandinavia.
We owe a word of thanks to David Carlson from The David Report for introducing us to the Okee, a fantastic minimalistic bike from Sweden. The Okee Bike is designed and produced by Okee Williams and Calle Sjönell. These two good friends wondered why everyday cycles either looked like high tech spaceships or old tractors. They couldn't understand why it wasn’t possible to find a simple, neat and lightweight bike. In the end they designed their own and started producing it in limited numbers. They started their company in 2005 and sold 100 bikes in the first two months. Last year they produced 140 men’s bikes and 60 women’s bikes.
Okee Williams has a background as a Finanical Analyst and still has a day-job in communication. He’s tried his hand at most sports for at least one season. Calle Sjonell is the founder of the interactive agency Starring, formerly known as Moonwalk Stockholm, and has worked in marketing for the last 10 years. Calle has tried most sports together with Okee but has never been quite as good as him. For the time bing, Okee remains an extra curriculum pursuit for both Calle and Okee.
molto belle.
C'è un rivenditore in Italia? più precisamente c'è un rivenditore in Puglia?
