"Since working with George and Michael Lin at Pacific Cycles, I can now see why they are legendary within the world bicycle industry."

Mark Sanders is the Principal of MAS Design – a product design and engineering consultancy established in 1984. MAS design specializes in integrating engineering and industrial design. Its product portfolio includes a wide range of award-winning patented products; from kitchen tools to operating tables, many of which are exhibited and sold worldwide.

Mark is also responsible for the development of the unique Integrated Folding (IF) technology that is now being incorporated into the Pacific line of folding bikes. Available in 700c, 26” and 20” wheel sizes, they include the patented 3D, 4-bar link technology that allows bikes to fold, almost instantly, into compact,‘wheelable’ packages.

Mark is delighted to be working with Pacific Cycles. He says: “They have, in house, all the facilities to take concept ideas for bicycles into full scale production; including first class design, engineering and prototyping. They can take promising ideas, which are often little more than dreams, sketches or crude prototypes, and with some of the best minds and experience in the business—plus extensive CAD and CNC facilities—turn these into reliable, leading-edge cycling products. George and Michael Lin have perfected a complete ‘bicycle technology factory’. Everyone who works here is self-motivated, busy and enthusiastically designing, developing and producing bicycles. George and Michael are on 1st name terms with everyone in the factory, many have worked here for over 20 years, and are all skilled in bicycle technology. Everyone shares the common goal of building perfect bicycles.”
