Intercontinental Cyclocross Championship 2017 - Photos
Well, we did it. We managed to throw our first ever officially official sanctioned (by the USAC no less) cyclocross event. And it was pretty dang awesome. Well, we half did it. In that we’ve got big plans for this thing, but before we get too crazy though, we had to make sure that we could pull it off. This was our proof of concept year, and what we proved was that “races” are cool, but “events” are most definitely where it’s at.

All-City Intercontinental Cyclocross Championships 9/23
Just wanted to pop our heads up to tell you about a little something that we've been working on over here at All-City. You see, inspired by the amazing time we had at Bike Lore, we wanted to try our own hand at throwing a totally legit sanctioned cross race here in MPLS where the focus is as much on the spectators and their good time as it is on the racers. Something that the whole family would enjoy, and that would bring a bit of that festival / community vibe to our cross scene.

Bike Lore Cyclocross Festival - Japan
Cross racing in Japan, it's really something else and must be experienced to be believed. I don't even think the locals realize just how amazing the scene that they've built is since it's normative to them. To us, with outside eyes, however our time at the Bike Lore festival was a mind blower.

Cross Bikes Are The Best!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Every cyclist needs a cross bike. Even if you never have any intentions of racing cyclocross, they are still an absolute essential steed for your stable.

A Visit to Chequmegon Fat Tire Festival HQ
While visiting the Chequamegon area of Northern Wisconsin earlier this January, we took the opportunity to stop by the headquarters of the famous Chequemegon Fat Tire Festival. The catalyst for this visit was the discovery of and subsequent urge to document all of the wonderful prints that were given to the finishers during the late 80's and early 90's. We hoped to find the posters and hear their story, however we ended up discovering so much more...

The care with which they have carefully picked the products that they carry, created their own line of goods through both the Blue Lug and Fairweather labels, display their merchandise, and absolutely crush it when it comes to custom bike building...
End of an Era….Saying Farewell to the Classic Space Horse
Sometimes, sometimes... Sometimes in life we have to say good bye to an old friend.

Stupor Bowl 20 Photos
Early this February the 20th edition of Minneapolis' legendary Stupor Bowl was held. This is the second longest running messenger race in the world and is famously comprised of two classes: Speed and Stupor. The speed race is your typical alleycat affair with a manifest of stops all over our fair city, and the Stupor race adds the twist of requiring racers to pound a beverage at every stop.

All that takes is money.

We are super excited to finally unveil to the world the video we shot in Tahoe last summer with a handful of our favorite folks in the world. Especially rad because our own team rider SK and our homie Ethan Houser made a banging track for it.
Good Times in SoCal with the Los Angeles Crew!
