We make ice cream bikes, coffee bikes, cold brew bikes, food bikes, book bikes, experiential marketing and advertising bikes, and more!
Icicle Tricycles is a company empowered by a long and rich history in the commercial cargo bike industry. Our family legacy of bike couriers started in Oregon’s capital in 1935, then found itself in the tundra of the Yukon Valley with a trike full of popsicles. Since 1999, we have been building, operating, and perfecting our cargo trikes for your business!
We’ve delivered flowers on three wheels, and delighted weddings, summer camps, and religious groups with ice cream and other frozen treats. Our sister company delivers 10,000 copies of the Portland Mercury on an Icicle Tricycles fleet every Wednesday, in rain, sleet, snow, or shine–but mostly rain. In the ever-evolving world of business and technology, there are some things that remain tried and true, and we’re not afraid to stick to the basics.
Your business will not go unnoticed when it is on a bike. Whether you are promoting a brand through experiential marketing, or selling your product directly, riding your trike through city streets and festivals, or parking it in your restaurant or at a farmers’ market, Icicle Tricycles will always draw a crowd.
Icicle Tricycles can be found rolling all over the United States, Canada, and the rest of the world. We have built trikes for small summer businesses, Fortune 500 companies, and everything in between. Our famous ice cream trikes are just the beginning. We provide fully customized trikes to deliver your brand, message, and product right to your target customers. Coffee bikes, beer bikes, juice bikes, salad bikes, soup bikes, donut bikes, a bike decorated with your logo to just ride around town–you dream it, we can help you build it.
Our cargo bikes are a reflection of our passion for entrepreneurial spirit, environmental sustainability, and cycling. We have a long history of providing fully coordinated, turnkey marketing campaigns utilizing our custom marketing bikes, and we love sharing business ideas that we’ve generated over the years to help companies and communities grow.
We are proud of what we do and admire the hard work and ambition of our customers. We‘d love to help you get your business rolling.

What Our Customers Have To Say
“Outside of the concept being fun and easy to plug into any event, the people at Icicle Tricycles are great. We had a short notice order for two bikes, and they did just about everything they could to expedite the process. The bikes arrived in time, in great shape, and performed beautifully. They’re high-quality units and the people clearly are passionate about their work.”

“Thank you, we love it!”
Fairmont Olympic Hotel
“Icicle Tricycles made our super sampling for the Gold Cup, Timbers, and Thorns matches so much more effective! With this unique mode of distributing product it really grabbed the attention of fans and passerby’s alike! Ryan and the whole team at Portland Pedals are great to work with, and very accommodating to our ever-changing schedule and last minute adjustments. Very impressed by the on call maintenance team and their ability to make fixes when needed. I would highly recommend an Icicle Tricycle to spruce up a promotional event or private party.“
