Single Speed Events

Single Speed USA in Salida and Richfield, Single Speed Worlds in Port Jervis, and a lot of very committed one-geared riders.

Curated by Blake Cannon

Single speed events move to a new town most years, but the ingredients stay the same: a brutal climb, a costume contest nobody can explain the judging for, an aid station that has opinions about what counts as nutrition, and a downtown that gets quietly taken over by bikes with one gear. This collection follows them from Salida to Richfield to Port Jervis, one very committed weekend at a time.
