What Is A Bikeyface?
No matter your mode of transportation, we all know there are serious issues on our roads and it’s easy to get bogged down in negativity, stereotypes, and politics.
But despite all of this, people still ride their bikes everyday as their primary mode of transportation and love every minute of it. Biking is fun, practical and a great lifestyle. Bikeyface was started to celebrate that.
So what is a bikey face?
Well, it’s that face you make unconsciously when you bike:
And you see a good view:
Or a good friend:
It’s the face you make when you’re biking up Beacon Hill:
Or down Prospect Hill:
Or getting a whiff of cinnamon from the bakery you pass every morning on the way to work:
Or when you bike super fast like this:
Or maybe you do it like this:
It might be similar to the face you make when you play guitar:
But don’t play guitar and bike at the same time. Because this is not a good bikey face:
But most of all it is the reason we keep biking on streets that often feel like this:
Because ultimately it’s not really about bicycles, it’s about enjoying life.
You rock! In addition to riding up and down Prospect Hill many times, I’ve made many of those faces. Some today!
Now I understand “Bikeyface.” I’ve made most of those faces. My favorite is when I catch myself smiling for no particular reason, usually during an interval or tough stretch of road. That’s fun.
You have some great art work and bike info here. I look forward to checking out the rest of your site.
Thanks a lot Dear Lady
For let me know about this wonderful place, where biking is a pleasure… Burke-Gilman trail today….
Love the Cinnamon Bikeyface! I really enjoy the feeling of exploring on my bike and when I’m able to process my thoughts and daydream on the side streets here in town. There’s something so exciting and fresh about it all! Thanks for your blog. Love it.

I just discovered bikeyface. What a great site. Thank you. It’s the first bike site that’s actually given me a bikey face.
