Single Speed USA

One event, two towns, and a lot of very committed one-geared riders.

Curated by Blake Cannon

Single Speed USA moves 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 the event from Salida to Richfield, one hot climb at a time.
