" We cannot be afraid of diversity. We cannot be afraid of difference. We must, instead, be afraid of those who refuse to recognize and appreciate the value that diversity brings."
- Gary L. Francione
Welcome
We’re Birds on Bikes, a Brisbane brand making Australian‑made women’s cycling apparel in sizes 6–24. Our mission is simple: help more women ride more often with gear that fits, flatters and feels good. Expect premium chamois, real pockets and multiple leg lengths—designed by riders, for riders.
Our Mission
At Birds on Bikes, our mission is simple: help women feel confident and empowered on every ride. Cycling is your escape and your freedom, and our Australian-made gear (sizes 6–24) is designed to keep you comfortable, supported and smiling, wherever the pedals take you.
About Birds on Bikes
Founded in 2017, Birds on Bikes began with a frustration: great cycling gear rarely fit real bodies. We set out to change that—starting small in Brisbane and growing a community of riders who value comfort, confidence and inclusive sizing. Today, we design and make locally and are licensed to use the Australian Made logo.
What we make
- Padded bike shorts with pockets — everyday comfort, multiple leg lengths.
- Women’s bib shorts — supportive fit with premium chamois.
- Cycling tights & bib tights — winter‑ready warmth and coverage.
- Jerseys & base layers — breathable fabrics for year‑round rides.
Sizes: AU 6–24 across a growing range.
Details that matter: pockets that fit your phone, soft waistbands, anti‑chafe seams, reflective touches.
How we make (Australian Made)
We keep production close to home for better quality, transparency and fit.
- Local & in‑house: Designed and made in Brisbane under our own roof and with trusted local partners.
- Licensed Australian Made: We’re authorised to display the green‑and‑gold kangaroo.
- Premium materials: Elastic Interface chamois and performance fabrics chosen for comfort and longevity.
- Small batches: Less waste, faster feedback loops, consistent sizing.
- Ethical by design: Fair pay, safe and respectful workplaces, long‑term relationships.
Fit-first, size-inclusive design
Bodies aren’t one‑size. Neither is our gear. We test across sizes 6–24 and offer multiple leg lengths to dial in your comfort. If you sit between sizes or prefer more/less compression, our Size Guide and team are here to help.
