SEYMOUR, Ind. — Two Seymour companies, Guardian Bikes, and SpaceGuard Products, have been vying for the Coolest Thing Made in Indiana tournament.
The competition celebrates the state’s long manufacturing history. The entered companies faced off in a single-elimination bracket format with winners chosen through public fan voting. Each winner advances to the next round until the coveted “final four” are reached and an ultimate Coolest Thing Made in Indiana champion is chosen.
The 2023 field included 47 Hoosier makers of all kinds of things – both familiar and emergent. For fairness, the matchups were generated via an online randomizer; due to the number of entrants, some entrants received byes to the second round.
Both Guardian Bikes and SpaceGuard Products made it to Round 2, however, after voting for that round ended on November 7, only Guardian Bikes remained.
The bike company specializes in designing and manufacturing high-quality, safe, and innovative bicycles for children. Guardian Bikes is known for its unique SureStop braking system, which allows kids to stop faster and with more control, reducing the risk of accidents.
