In the workshop

Every bike leaves the atelier race-ready, even your cargo bike.

Basso road bike in the Dutch landscape
Origin

Born in the harbour, refined for the road.

Cords Cycles reflects the city we call home. We cherish Rotterdam's maker mentality and the toughness needed to ride into the north-westerly wind.

We're not a shop; we're an atelier for the mechanical click, enjoyed with a coffee.
