About
Guardian Bikes is an Austin, Texas-based direct-to-consumer kids' bicycle brand built around its patented SureStop brake system, which automatically balances front and rear braking to prevent head-over-handlebar accidents—the leading cause of over 300,000 childhood ER visits annually. Founded by Brian Riley and Kyle Jansen, the company launched SureStop on adult bikes in 2013 before pivoting to children's bikes and gaining national recognition after landing a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank in 2017. Guardian sells bikes ranging from 12-inch balance bikes to 26-inch youth bikes directly to families, shipping from U.S. warehouses with a 365-day return policy.
