Viking cycles were made in Derry, Northern Ireland from the 1970s until their demise in the 1990s. Originally an English company, it is thought they were formed in 1908 by Alfred Victor Davies in Wolverhampton. By the 1930s they were focused on “lightweights” and began sponsoring racing teams. The beautifully lugged race bikes from this era were, by all accounts of excellent quality. “You’re behind the times if you’re not riding Viking!” the adverts from this period proclaimed. To local bicycle enthusiasts Viking bikes are a significant reminder of bicycle manufacturing in Northern Ireland.
