I first heard about Madsen Cycles through Facebook. Someone suggested I follow them and when I saw they were a local Utah company I decided I would check them out.

Next a popular design blog that I read called Swiss Miss wrote of her love for the Madsen bike. The fact that Swiss Miss wrote about them totally impressed me because she is the be all end all when it comes to cool design. Many of my cool product design tweets come from stuff I read on her blog.

Next I was at the Spudman Triathlon in Burley Idaho and saw a guy, who I think was Jared Madsen riding his kids around in a Madsen along the route and cheering people on. I was again impressed. First he somehow got that large bike from Salt Lake to Burley. Second of all it was cool to see him there supporting the athletes.

Sooooooooo, Madsen is currently holding a contest where to enter you need to post a link on your site or tweet about their bicycles. I figured I’d right a little review on them rather than just post a link because I really do think they are quite cool. Check them out! And while you’re at it, why not enter the contest as well.
