WE ARE MARIPOSA

Mariposa is a hand built bicycle manufacturer. At mariposa, craftsmen focus on one bike at a time. Your mariposa is created specifically for you: one tube selector, one cutter, one machinist, one builder, one painter, one assembler.

From the first frame handbuilt in 1969, Mariposa has been about one goal: building the ideal bicycle for the customer.

Unlike most bicycles, which are produced by machines on assembly lines, Mariposas have always been handbuilt by cyclists for cyclists. One tube selector, one cutter, one machinist, one builder, one painter, one assembler. Every Mariposa is built t o its riders needs. Every tube angle, material and component selection is made with the rider in mind.

In an age when bicycles, even costly ones, have become interchangeable and almost disposable, Mariposas, like a fine watch, are built to last a lifetime. There are no gimmicks or the latest fads. We believe that integrity of design cannot be separated from quality of construction.

We are experienced cyclists. The builders and owners have raced in the Tour de France, raced in the Olympics, won National road, cyclocross, criterium and track titles, thrashed over the cobbled roads in the toughest northern European races, won World Championships, have toured extensively throughout the world, and make our daily way through the city by bike.

Cycling is our lives.

Mike Barry Sr.

Founder of Mariposa Bicycles, Owner of Bicycle Specialties, will continue to be involved as an advisor and mentor. He continues to build bicycles, carriers and frames, as w ell as refurbish and restore antique bicycles. Mike’s fascination with bicycles and everything cycling started at a very early age . He found that the bicycle opened a world of discovery and adventure from his home in South London, England. Mike competed as a t op category amateur in England before he emigrated to Canada. His intense interest in cycling and bicycles has remained with him following his move to Canada and throughout his life. Mike has organized cyclocross, road and touring events and is a founder of the Toronto Randonneurs. He has managed and sponsored cycling teams and he has also participated in the Raid Pyrenean, L’Eroica and climbed most of the famous cols of France and Italy. Cycling is in his blood, he s till navigates the city of Toronto by bicycle each day and leads weekly group rides outside of the city .

Michael Barry Jr.

As a cyclist, Michael represented Canada at the Olympic Games (’96, ’04, ’08), Commonwealth Games (’94, ;02) and was a World Tour Cyclist (1998-2012). He rode for the most famous teams of his age, including Team Sky, Columbia – High Road, T-Mobile, Discovery Channel, and the US Postal Service team. He competed in the Tour de France, Vuelta a Espana and Giro d’Italia. With a deep level of experience in bicycle fit and design, as well as a keen attention to detail and eye for style, Michael has a unique skill in translating a cyclist’s specifications to the bike design.

Dede Barry

Co-leads the business. She is a strategist in addition to her many successes in professional cycling. Her unique combination of an international MBA, her creativity and focus allows others to depend on her lead. A natural athlete, Dede grew up in Milwaukee, WI and was introduced to cycling as a form of cross training for speedskating as a teenager. Having raced as a National Team Speedskater for three years, she quickly found success on the bike, winning the 1989 Junior World Championship road race. That was the beginning of a 16 year cycling career. A Silver medalist from the 2004 Athens Olympics and multiple medalist of World, National and Pan-American competitions, she was a member of the United States National Cycling Team as well as the Saturn and T-Mobile professional cycling teams. Although she no longer competes as a cyclist, she is an active athlete, regularly out running, cycling and skiing the many trails in Toronto. She coaches youth cycling, cross-country running and also takes part in charity bike events.
