Remote and hybrid work is reshaping how bicycle companies build products and coordinate operations, and the capital behind it is moving fast. Since 2015, bicycle startups have raised $2.0 billion globally, while 56% of employed people in the US were able to work from home at least some of the time in 2021, pointing to why engineering, design, and manufacturing-adjacent teams keep getting structured for flexibility. But productivity gains and cost savings come with tradeoffs like rising remote security risk and compliance worries, which is where the dataset gets especially interesting.
