Flatbike, a Kirkland-based company specializing in space-saving bicycle solutions, is hosting a Kirkland Family Fun Day on June 7. The initiative will bring a slew of family-friendly and bike-themed activities, contests, and exclusive deals on its remaining inventory.
The Kirkland Family Fun Day event aims to showcase Flatbike's innovative approach to cycling convenience — from folding stems and quick-removable pads to lightweight folding e-bikes that collapse for easy storage. Attendees can participate in games like slow-riding and slalom challenges while learning how to modify their own bikes to take up less space.
The family-friendly gathering also serves as a transition point for the company, which is winding down its U.S. bike assembly operations due to rising tariffs but remains committed to its core mission of making cycling more accessible and practical.
