Since 1990, Sportworks has designed and engineered bike transit solutions that connect people and cities, from the industry's first Bike-Rack-for-Buses in 1993 to today's rail and micro-mobility systems. Millions of people use our products every month. We don't settle for the status quo: we're constantly pushing our engineering, our technology, and our partnerships with transit agencies forward to make active transportation safer, easier, and more accessible for everyone.

Sportworks became part of the Silver Falls Capital portfolio in December 2021, where we're Connected with Purpose.

Our Culture: The Silver Falls Way

Culture isn’t something we bolted on, it’s how we work. We call it The Silver Falls Way, five values that guide everything we do: Purpose, People, Truth, Humility, and Possibility. Our culture is what sets us apart: it’s how we attract people who care, keep them for the long term, and turn that commitment into better products and better outcomes for our customers. In practice, that means we invest in our people, empowering them to think big, take risks, and grow into their full potential, and we expect honesty and candor from everyone, ourselves included. Are you energized by ownership, continuous improvement, and the chance to leave something better than you found it? If so, you’ll find a place here that hears your ideas, supports your growth, and gives your work visible impact.
