Minneapolis has played a significant role in determining the path of Urban Velo, and it’s only appropriate to close out this issue with the city that has been the source of so much inspiration. The magazine was born on a road trip to Stuporbowl X in 2007, and each of the many visits in the ensuing years have provided guidance and insight into what would come. The people, events, culture and companies that call Minneapolis home have been influential every step of the way, full circle from Stuporbowl to Homie Fall Fest and back. Until we meet again. –Brad Quartuccio
