Collection: Mud City Racing

"Mud City" was an early nickname for Chicago.  

The nickname's origins lie in Chicago's environment. Chicago was built, in part, on a mud flat, which required raising portions of the downtown area on stilts to avoid the muddy conditions. 

It also suits our favorite surfaces for bike racing: mud, dirt & gravel.
