We are a small group of professionals from the industry making reliable and well refined tools for you to explore your neighborhood and the world.

We are commuters, explorers, wanderers, bikepackers, advocates, racers, and all around outdoor enthusiasts. We work to translate our passions into every bike we make.

The Esker Crew:

Tim - CEO

Minneapolis, MN

I show up at Esker every day because bikes improve people’s lives. Whenever we hear from someone who describes their “best ride ever” aboard an Esker–that’s what its all about for us.

I make sure this value is reflected in all parts of Esker–from product that will always finish the ride it starts—to getting people excited to ride with us at demo events–we simply want all the riders in our family to have their best ride ever.

Simply put, life is better with bikes. And its especially true when those bikes bring a group of individuals together with similar goal of getting more people outside to explore, wander, and breath in the surrounding landscapes...wherever they may be.

I'm here to help those riders who have those same goals connect with the equipment and support needed to do so. If you need help finding that perfect backcountry exploration machine, I'm more than happy to help.

Chad - Warehouse

Minneapolis, MN

Hi, I’m Chad! I love bikes. I love riding them. I love building them. I love tinkering with new bits and bobs that might make my rides better. Mostly, I love helping others realize that they should love bikes, too! Ride fast and take chances, or ride slow and take it all in…..Just. Ride.

Kyle - Warehouse Manager

Minneapolis, MN

I joined Esker because I truly love riding my Hayduke on any trail I decide to ride. I am the one behind the Esker warehouse, I gather the final pieces before you receive your new bike. Whether it’s a frame or complete bike I most likely helped get it off to you.

I enjoy that I have the opportunity to look over every frame and utilize my passion for bicycle mechanics for every complete build. I hope you enjoy riding your Esker as much as I do!

Cloquet, MN

Alexandera helps shape Esker’s stories, voice and creative projects. The bulk of her days are dedicated to sharing with the world what makes Esker unique— we’re a small group of passionate bike nerds trying to be the bike company we wished was around when we started.

When she’s not behind the scenes sharing stories, she’s usually training to keep racing and working on ways to increase access to bikes for underrepresented ridership.
