UPDATE: ARTCRANK St. Louis 2012 is in the books. We were honored to be part of an amazing weekend of bike racing, thanks to teams and riders dueling it out on the streets of St. Louis in the MO PRO Professional Cycling Series. More than 1,000 people passed through Atomic Cowboy over the weekend to see bike-inspired posters by 30 local artists, and many of them took home their favorite prints.
Thanks to Widmer Brothers Brewing and Neenah Paper, we were also able to raise $3,300 for St. Louis BicycleWORKS, an organization that gives kids the chance to earn a free bike while they learn about bike safety and maintenance through their Earn-a-Bike program, which has provided inner-city kids with more than 10,000 bikes.

Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy local bike-inspired art and world-class bicycle racing. Plan to see us again next year when the world’s top cycling teams return to The Grove for another weekend of pedal-powered racing action.
Please check back for updates, and follow ARTCRANK on Twitter and Facebook for the latest news.
