UPDATE: Bend, Oregon played host to the final ARTCRANK™ show of 2010 on Friday, December 10. We were proud and honored to be part of Cross Culture: Bike + Art Love, the community-wide celebration of the bicycle scheduled to coincide with Cyclo-Cross Nationals. 500+ fans enjoyed bike art by local artists and helped us raise more than $700 for Bikes To Rwanda.

And thank you to our sponsors Visit Bend, Deschutes Brewery, Superfeet and tbd loft for helping us throw an epic bike art party worthy of the sport’s most demanding race.
