Burley – Bike Trailers with a Long Tradition
A passion for cycling led to the creation of Burley bike trailers, which grew from Burley Bike Bags. The search for a new, cycling-friendly home eventually led company founder Alan Scholz from Fargo, North Dakota to Eugene, Oregon. The company owes its name to his wife, Beverly. The couple started out selling homemade panniers at the weekly market in Eugene. The two already led an eco-conscious lifestyle in the 1970s, with no car. Looking for an alternative way to bring his goods to the weekly market, he came up with the idea of building a bicycle trailer out of an old garden swing seat. This caused quite a sensation out and about, and the first orders soon started coming in. Burley quickly established itself on the market and has enjoyed a first-class reputation ever since. In 2006, the company was sold to Michael Coughlin, who continues the company vision: namely, to inspire people to pursue their joy for nature.
