Don’t be shy.

We know there’s plenty of humanoids out there doing cool shit and making a difference by bike – and we like to spread the good word.

Wait, what's a humanoid?

Anyone that rides our steel and subscribes to our propaganda is a humanoid. But in this sense, we’re talking about a specific kind of humanoid: someone with a Surly bike and a story to tell.

Has your Surly bike(s) taught you valuable lessons, led you to great places, or given you a fresh outlook on life? Drop us a line and we’ll dig into it.

NOTE: Humanoids get a one-time payment of $300 for their time, in addition to a $300 donation to a charity or organization of their choosing. If you’re selected as our next humanoid, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
