Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bikes Make Me Happy?

Bikes Make Me Happy is a cycling lifestyle brand built to celebrate the adventures, friendships, and unforgettable moments that bikes make possible. We believe bikes have a way of making the good days even better—and reminding us there's still good to be found on the hard days.

Through everyday apparel, stories, rides, events, and a growing community of cyclists, we’re here to inspire more smiles, more memories, and more time on two wheels.

Why Bikes Make Me Happy?

Because after enough rides, most cyclists realize it isn't really about the bike itself. It's about where it takes us, who we meet, and how we feel every time we throw a leg over the saddle. Bikes challenge us, connect us, and turn ordinary days into unforgettable memories.

We believe the best way to ride is simply your own way. Do your thing. In fact, our founder loves all cycling disciplines from endurance rides to cruising on a basket bike in flip-flops and filling the basket with yard sale finds—or even kittens if any should appear on a ride. Whether you're chasing segment times, riding with your family, stopping every mile for photos, or enjoying a ride around the neighborhood, just make sure you are having fun! 

How can I be a part of Bikes Make Me Happy?

Do you organize rides or events?

Yes, we do. While our rides are typically in New Jersey, USA and surrounding areas, we do travel and like to explore. We also participate in a lot of other events hosted by other organizations and groups. We just love to be a part of it all and we love the people we meet all over the place. See our events tab on this website and join us if you are able to. 

How do your products fit?

We offer men's, women's, and unisex apparel for adults, along with toddler and youth sizes for kids. Our product listings include a size chart, and we’ll always note when an item has a specific cut—like a slim, relaxed, or oversized fit.

Our hoodies are unisex by design. We chose them because hoodies are meant to be cozy and comfortable, and we found this style provides the best overall fit for everyone. While women's cut hoodies can often be short or tight, our unisex hoodies offer a roomier, more comfortable feel that's perfect for everyday wear.

For kids, toddler sizes are designed for younger children (typically ages 2 and up), while youth sizes are intended for older kids who have outgrown toddler clothing but aren't quite ready for adult sizes. If your child is taller or between sizes, a smaller adult size may be the way to go.

What about ordering and shipping?

How long will it take to receive my order?

Each item you order is made to order just for you, so production takes a few business days and can be affected by how many orders are ahead of you. Typically, orders are produced in 3-5 business days, then shipping time is calculated based on your location. Unfortunately, we are not Amazon Prime, yet!

Where do you ship?

At this time our website allows for shipping in the USA with plans to expand, so please follow us so you can get updates when this happens. If you are outside of the USA and really want to place an order, please contact us directly through our contact page and we will work up a custom quote for you.

Why did my order arrive in separate packages?

Since our items are all made to order, sometimes they don't all get finished at the same time. We ship as products finish to get them to you as quickly as we can.
