The Civia Cycle Company success story as a cycle manufacturer is founded on their superb first offering the Civia Hyland marque. Civia have gone on to produce an entire range of brands such as the Loring, Linden, Midtown, and Bryant all specifically creatively designed for various niches in the urban world. Each has been brilliantly designed and engineered and the quality of the build is truly world class, but in my opinion none of them surpasses the creative design and build quality of their first marque the Civia Hyland.
Civia cycles credo is best summed up with this company statement “We founded Civia because bikes are integral to our lives. We ride for fitness and transportation. We ride to make our planet more livable for future generations. We ride for the simple joy of riding. We know that by designing and engineering bikes to fill specific transportation needs, we can transform the bicycle from a mere mode of going into a preferred way of being”
