New Belgium – About Junkyard Cyclocross (Video)

Junkyard cyclocross #pairswell with Fat Tire Ale from New Belgium Brewing.

Created and organized by Bilenky Cycle Works in Philadelphia, the world’s only Junkyard Cyclocross race takes riders through a junkyard, over cars, through toxic puddles and around broken glass. It’s in its eighth wildly popular year.

Stephen Bilenky, who founded the shop and cyclocross series that bears his name, started working in a bike shop when he was 12. He opened his own shop in his 20s and turned to building frames from scratch. By 1984 he was focusing exclusively on custom frame building at a time when there fewer than 50 handcrafted frame builders in the U.S.

"I’d always been fascinated by the workmanship on fine quality bicycles," Bilenky says. Now he works with a dedicated team of eccentric artisans committed to creating what he calls "sculpture in motion."
