Saris
In 1989, Chris and Sara Fortune purchased Graber, a family-owned bicycle rack company in Madison, WI that manufactured roof, trunk and hitch racks. Together, Chris and Sara put their mark on the business—starting by re-branding the bicycle racks Saris—which is a combination of their names. Chris and Sara envisioned a line of bicycle racks that would be made in the U.S. and distributed globally. They partnered with renowned Italian designer Fabio Pedrini to design racks that would be stylish and easy-to-use.
