State Bicycle Co. Blog

The 8th installment of the Red Hook Crit brought the State Bicycle Co. team to Brooklyn, New York to compete amongst the top-tier fixed gear riders in the world. Our photo blog shows you how it all went down. 

SBC Rider,Thomas Keating, at the Red Hook Crit: Brooklyn No.8. Keating placed 13th, which was the second highest American finish that day. Photo taken by Timothy Doyon.

Vancouver bike messenger extraordinaire, Fraser Dobbs, road-tested the Essor USA's Bolt 31 Wheel Set over an entire month of busy messenger work. Read his account of how the set held up.

Music festival season is underway so we asked our trusty Riding Team to weigh in on the perfect song to jam during a glorious springtime bike ride. We compiled each rider's pick into a Spotify playlist for all to jam out to (or shake your head in disgust to).

The Megalith Fat Bike tested and reviewed by 30-39 Fat Bike National Champion, Chris Stuart. There seems to be few places more appropriate to put a bike through the ringer than Park City, Utah's snow-covered mountains.

A bit of motivation for your Monday: Chris Piascik, an illustrator who specializes in lettering, breaks down his creative process and handpicks some of our favorite Monday Motivation designs in this self-authored post. 

The last entry in our Off Road Exploration Guide takes us to the sweet utopia that is Portland, Oregon. We took our Thunderbird Cyclo-Cross bike out and met up with our pal, Russ, to partake in the city's famed scenery, beverages, bike culture, and some damn good riding.

Red Bull South Korea caught this great shot of our main man, Hacheon Park, tearing through the dizzying streets of Seoul on his Undefeated model bicycle.

State Bicycle Co.'s fat bike, The Monolith, put to the test and rigors of a brutal Minnesota winter. Reviewed  by Chewey AKA The Fattie Godfather himself.

Steven Jensen and Matt Spencer captured some insane fixie tricks that are pure old-school on a full-sized track bike, the 6061 Black Label. Enjoy & Happy #wheeliewednesday

I actually had no clue who or what State Bicycle Co. was until about 2 years ago. A friend of mine rode by my piece and snapped a quick photo & hashtagged it with #StateBicycleCo.

When we heard that this would be the last edition of Lord of Griffith (LOG), there was no way State Bicycle Co. was going to miss it. To put it lightly, it was absolute madness. SBC took three Top 10 finishes w/ Addison Zawada taking 2nd!

Another Off Road Exploration across some of our favorite terrain in Northern Arizona. We chose our most versatile steed in the stable, the SS Cyclocross Warhawk to power us through the mud and canyon, alike.

Photographer, Michael Sanders, set up a sick sequence shot of Jason Clary riding his Undefeated through the Oakland Hills. 

Against our better judgement, we occasionally ask a member of the State Bicycle Co. Riding Team to interview a fellow rider. This edition of Out of the Saddle has Cody Goodman interviewing the elk-whisperer, Scott Piercefield. It gets silly real quick. 

The Taebaek Mountains are no joke. Hacheon Park shows us a side of South Korea most don't get to see in this epic edit and photo shoot.

For our third adventure into the Off-Road and with Fat bikes in town, we brought local legend/professional BMX rider/fly fisherman, KC Badger, along to the Salt River to show us what the Megalith is capable of.

On February 8th 2015 some of the best fixed-gear riders in Arizona took to a unique and scenic course at Arizona State University's famous Gammage Auditorium.

Now, I can’t tell you that this seat post will make you faster or stronger but for the past two weeks since I've had it on, my power numbers are on average about 7-10 watts higher than before...

The Taebaek Mountain Range stretches for over 500 km along the Korean peninsula. February's frosty wallpaper features the very very talented Hacheon Park, State Bicycle Co. Team Rider and Seoul-native. This breathtaking shot...

Our second Off-Road adventure takes us (and a few fat bikes) up to the post-apocalyptic, junkyard mecca that is the Salton Sea & Slab City. I didn't break my arm but Chris Reichel (Drunk Cyclist) did and he's brutal enough to probably go through it again.

It's pretty surreal but State Bicycle Co. has been kicking around for five years now. We've come a long way since that first year of existence: one of enthusiasm, unpredictability and one hell...

January 2015 is all about the inimitable Bryan "B-Hard" Harding. He's not only is the star of our Wallpaper Series this month but also dropped his tropical-inspired Rider Signature Jersey & Bottle in our...

2014 was a tremendously memorable year for myself and State Bicycle Co.. Here are the Top 10 Bike Moments of 2014.
