Catch eyes as you ride by this summer on a bike in a trend-setting color. Bright colors and pastel shades are both perfectly suited for warm weather and are very popular in 2020. It’s also hard to beat the year-round versatility of classic styles such as a black beach cruiser or white cruiser bike with basket. Find out more about the bike colors trending this year.
Light Shades
Light colors are one of the most popular trends in women’s bikes. A coral, light blue, mint green or purple womens bike may be available as a comfort, cruiser, commuter or hybrid build. A frame in any of these eye-catching colors can be accentuated by the color of features such as accessory mounts, fenders, handlebar grips and a chain cover. You can also switch out functional and stylish accessories such as baskets or bags.
In addition to making a style statement anywhere and everywhere, these light shades enhance the visibility of a rider on routes with traffic. Although these colors are currently on-trend, a brightly colored frame will never go out of style. These shades are perfectly suited for warm-weather rides and can continue to express your unique sense of style in every season.
Classic Colors
Retro influences are always popular in bike design, but colors found on fashionable rides from past decades and even your favorite childhood bike are on point for Summer 2020. Women might want to consider riding a bike with a cream or white frame or selecting a blue bike. These shades look anything but plain when paired with a brown leather saddle, matching handlebar grips and other accents and accessories.
Some of the most popular colors for men’s bikes include black, dark blue and gray. Depending on the style of bike, these rides may feature contrasting or matching secondary frame colors or seat and handlebar grip colors. Metal portions of the frame may be silver or coated to match with a secondary color. Selecting a men’s or women’s bike in any of these shades is a choice that will pay off in double-takes for years to come.
Vibrant Hues
Highly saturated color tones are also on trend for 2020. No matter which look you prefer, a cruiser, hybrid or electric bike in any of these color schemes won’t go out of style. Depending on the color you choose, a boldly-colored bike may be more or less visible on roads with traffic. Darker colors are likely to be less apparent to drivers’ eyes, particularly in low-light conditions.
The most popular bike designs of the year feature brightly colored frames or a more subtle palette with stylish contrasting or matching accents. No matter which color of bike you choose, it’s important to put safety first. Always wear a helmet when riding, particularly on roads with traffic. If you ride in low-light conditions, be sure to equip your bike with safety gear such as blinking lights and wear brightly-colored or reflective clothing. The bike color you choose can contribute to your safety and look great while you’re on the move.
