"The Bike Seat was really great at Burning Man this year - very convenient and useful for giving my friends lifts around the playa.  The seat is comfortable, and even my most cautious passengers were able to relax.  I even got a great reward: when a skydiver landed in front of me on the playa, I offered him a ride back to camp (with his whole parachute) and in exchange he gifted me a token for a ride on the skydiving plane!  So, because I offered him a lift with The Bike Seat, I got a birds eye tour of Burning Man.  Thanks, Companion!"

We didn't have our bike seats available in time for Burning Man 2013 (our first bike seats were finished in Oct. 2013), but we lent one of our prototypes to a friend to take with her, and she sent this quote back to us.

Companion Bike Seat is a brand new rear bike rack that not only supports a passenger up to 200 lbs, it also has a storage compartment beneath the seat cushion (that conveniently fits a six-pack). And it's compatible with all types of different bikes (more info on our Installation and FAQ page).

We think Companion Bike Seats are a perfect way for you and a friend to get around the playa and to prove it, we gave away 10 free bike seats this summer for folks to take with them to the playa and/or anywhere else their bicycle might take them!


Here's some of submissions folks entered to win:
Thank you for making these and having a contest!! Companion bike seats are awesome!!
Had to carry a briefcase around but it would be great to turn it into a seat on the back for a friend to sit!

Awesome project!
This is my first burn, hoping I can test out your awesome seat by gifting rides across the playa.

Going to the Big Burn for the first time this year. Great ideal on the passenger seat. A needed accessorize for the biking community.

Love this. And would love to bring one of your rockin seats with me to the playa!! Thanks for the chance to win one  :)


Help me give rides to sweet honeys on the playa!! WOOOOooooH!

Stay tuned for updates from the folks that won a bike seat this year. And of course, check in again next summer when we run it back again! If you can't wait until then, purchase your bike seat today.
