Open Cycles
OPEN Cycles champions a philosophy of remaining small-scale while delivering exceptional bicycles tailored for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts. Rejecting traditional corporate norms, founders Andy Kessler and Gerard Vroomen prioritize product innovation and customer satisfaction over flashy marketing strategies.
Their cycling journey began with personal passion, with Andy transitioning from volleyball to mountain biking due to injuries and Gerard driven by a lifelong fascination with bicycles, leading to roles in prominent bike companies like Cannondale, Scott, BMC, and Cervélo. Andy's path evolved from unexpected beginnings in mountain bike racing to sales and marketing roles, culminating in the realization of his dream with OPEN, while Gerard's journey stemmed from childhood love and an engineering background, leading to the founding of OPEN alongside Andy.
Together, their shared vision and complementary expertise fuel OPEN's dedication to crafting outstanding bicycles while maintaining their deep-rooted love for the sport.
