Last week, Bromptons, fixies, and race bikes swerved around hairpin turns in King’s Cross as part of the three-day London Cycling Festival.
Conor Courtney was on the ground at the event and, below, documents the VIA Criterium and Brompton World Championships with in-depth reportage and a stunning photo gallery…
Like many events and people in recent times, the Mission Crit came back to life this year after a bit of time off. Call it what you will, a vacation, perhaps. Regardless, for the first time in two years Mission Crit founder/race director James Grady dusted off the bullhorn, timing equipment, cones and barriers to run a race that is currently one of a kind. Since the unfortunate folding of Brooklyn’s Red Hook Criterium in 2019, the Mission Crit has remained as the sole surviving high profile fixed gear criterium race in existence.
Attack Pictures presents American Crit:
“American Crit is a loud, visceral look at the sport of criterium racing as seen through the eyes of a first-year team. It’s a love letter to one of the most dangerous and beautiful forms of bike racing in the world. A meditation on what it’s like and what it takes and why.”
This video is 34 minutes long, so if you like crit racing, be sure to set aside some time.
