About Squad Cycles

Squad Cycles is a workshop in Knowlton, in the Eastern Townships, that has been designing custom bikes for over 25 years. It builds road, gravel and triathlon bikes, each with custom paint, so no two bikes look quite the same.

Its bikes suit serious riders who want a frame fitted to their body and riding style, and who see their bike as a long-term companion. The quiet back roads around Brome Lake are a lovely place to test a new road or gravel bike. A custom build takes time, so plan ahead of the riding season. It is a small Townships workshop with deep cycling roots.
