ANTY was born from the need to make bikes differently. Without ready-made answers, without forcing people to fit the equipment, and without pretending that one model works for everyone.
We believe a bike is more than an object. It is a companion that should fit your way of life, the pace of the city and the direction you want to go. That is why we start with a conversation. We listen, ask questions, check the details and only then look for solutions.
We focus on craft, honesty and the constant development of cycling culture — one that does not lock people into fixed patterns, but gives them more freedom.
Read the manifestoANTY was founded at the end of 2013 thanks to the energy of Krzysztof Najder and Sebastian Smyl. They were brought together by a passion for working on bikes themselves and the belief that the market was missing light, simple and fast bikes made for city riding.
The first ANTY bikes were built in the shop and workshop at Tamka 33 — locally, by hand and close to the people who actually rode them.
In 2015, Przemysław Żebrowski joined as a shareholder, bringing strategic and business experience to the brand. At the end of the same year, ANTY moved to Warsaw’s Mokotów district, to a space at Skolimowska 6/16. The scale changed, there was more room to present models and organise the workshop more comfortably, but the most important things stayed the same: conversation, craft and bikes made to fit people.
Over time, bikes, needs and the city itself changed. ANTY changed as well — from the first city bikes to today’s projects, workshop services, collaborations, events and activities that help shape Warsaw’s cycling culture.
We want that culture to be open. For different people, riding styles, levels of experience and ways of using the city. We are building a place where people can feel seen, respected and invited into a conversation — whether they ride every day, return to cycling after years or are only just starting.
Today we operate in Warsaw as a brand, workshop and meeting place. What matters most to us is still the same: honesty, attention and the belief that a good bike should fit the person, not the other way around.
Outside the workshop
We build bikes locally, but ANTY does not end at the service stand. We organize group rides for our community and ANTYdialogi — a series of focused cycling talks, meetings and lectures at our place in Mokotów.
We meet, talk and ride together, because cycling culture is not built only around bikes. It is built between people.

City and people
Cycling culture does not end with riding. It is also about responsibility for the city, for people and for access to working bikes. That is why we get involved in projects that make sense locally — from collaborations with city institutions to helping where a bike can genuinely make everyday life easier.
We worked on projects connecting bikes, the city and Warsaw’s green infrastructure — showing that a bike can be a natural part of how the city works every day.

We joined an initiative supporting people affected by the flood. We prepared and serviced bikes so they could go where they were actually needed.

We repaired bikes for the people supported by the Anna Radziwiłł “Opiekuńcze Skrzydła” Foundation, because a working bike can mean independence, movement and a sense of freedom.
