The Skyline
The compact bike with a cult spirit
Pashley has long been known for creating bicycles with character — machines that attract a loyal following and a knowing nod from those in the know.
The Skyline carries that spirit forward: a hand-built mini-velo that captures the playfulness of Tokyo’s bike culture, the practicality of Copenhagen’s city streets, and the unmistakable craftsmanship of Pashley.
Small wheels, full-sized feel, the Skyline is compact, stylish, fits in with your lifestyle and is anything but ordinary.
Quick off the lights, agile through traffic, and equally at home on gravel or asphalt. For commuters, adventurers, and anyone who just loves the idea of riding something unique —
this is Pashley, but not as you’ve seen it before.
Chasing the Skyline
Every ride on the Skyline is a chance to explore, discover, and see your world from a new perspective. Hand-built in Stratford-upon-Avon, its Reynolds steel frame is lightweight yet durable, and every component has been chosen with care to deliver the perfect balance of usability, reliability, performance — and maximum smiles per mile.
The Skyline’s geometry mirrors that of a standard bicycle for a natural, comfortable fit, while compact 20″ wheels bring sharper handling, quicker acceleration, and storage-friendly dimensions. It’s a bike designed for the real world — practical enough for daily life, yet always ready to turn an ordinary ride into something memorable.
It’s versatile, distinctive, and brimming with energy — a bike that invites you to chase the skyline, wherever your journey takes you.
