Our History and Expertise
IceBike was founded in 1998 with a simple mission: to be the ultimate resource for everything related to Ice Biking and Winter Cycling. Back then, our focus was narrow, but our passion was immense. As our love for cycling grew, so did our content. Today, we’re proud to offer a wealth of information for cyclists of all levels—whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been riding for years.
From the beginning, we’ve operated with a small, tight-knit team of dedicated cyclists who are driven by the same passion that got us started. Those early days keep us grounded and remind us why we’re here—to share the transformative power of cycling with the world.
Now, we’re recognized globally as a trusted source for all things biking. We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come, but we’re not stopping here. Our mission remains the same: to provide quality content that educates, inspires, and supports our fellow cycling enthusiasts.

Luke Ameen
Having got off the mountain trails a few years ago, I spend most of my leisure time cycling everywhere I can possibly go. The days of competition are gone, yet I still manage to see everything there is to see in my area. Bicycles are in my blood, and it will be for the decades (hopefully) to come.
