made using the finest selection of wood, ‘pecker bike grips’ by austrian firm pecker design, are a sustainable alternative to synthetic bike grips. wooden handlebars have been a long tradition in bicycle manufacturing, combining this history with modern aesthetics – ‘pecker bike grips’ are an upgrade for every bicycle – whether it’s a dutch or folding bike or even a fixie. the environmentally made pieces are based on the concept of local production and also the use of indigenous woods. working in close cooperation with the ‘geschützte werkstätte tirol’ – a company that secures employment for people with disabilities – the final design is also socially responsible. high quality production standards help to create the clean, minimalist design and the wood is treated with natural resin hard oil, to protect it from water, heat and dirt – keeping its appealing natural structure. pecker design believe the beauty of wood lies in its textural and color diversity, making each bike grip one of a kind.
