A-Squared is based in Portland, Oregon. For those of you that aren't lucky enough to live here, Portland is the cycling capital of the U.S.A. It's from this cycling mecca that our company began and has been allowed to find its heart and soul. A-Squared started with a simple premise. When our Founder was looking to buy his first Triathlon bike, he bemoaned the fact that he could not find a new model that cost less than $2,300. He refused to believe that a Triathlon bike had to cost that much. So, he went to the source, in Taiwan. Our Founder spent numerous days and weeks visiting factories and discussing the future of cycling in the United States. Finally, when he came back from Taiwan, one thing was clear: bikes don't have to cost that much. A-Squared was born soon after.
