Wzrd After working in the bike world for more than a decade, Emma May started making her own frames in 2019. Each Wzrd bike has a few signature design features, including a steel frame, a rigid or low-travel fork, and a long chainstay. Other elements, from the number of water-bottle holders to the vibrant paint jobs (courtesy of May’s partner, April Lockwood), can be customized. Wzrd’s mission is personal. “I came out about a year into Wzrd,” May says. “And I had so many queer people in the bike industry reach out to me—not just to buy something but also to talk about being queer in the industry. I don’t want to just be a brand that sells bikes. I want Wzrd to be a welcoming space for queer and trans people.” —Miyo McGinn
