About Us
150 years strong and just getting started. Since 1874, BIKE® Athletic has stood for support in what we make and believe. From our origins as pioneers in men’s athletic gear to becoming a brand that champions comfort, style, and inclusivity, we've grown with the times while staying true to our legacy.
Founded in 1874, BIKE® Athletic began with a single innovation: the athletic supporter, designed for Boston’s cyclists. Its popularity among riders and messengers led the company to adopt the name BIKE®, which would become synonymous with protection, performance, and legacy.
Over the next 150 years, the jockstrap became an essential part of athletic gear, and BIKE® produced over 350 million of them, cementing its place in sports history. As the game changed, so did the brand, expanding into athletic wear, compression gear, and performance apparel built for movement and made to last.
