And whether you’re a hardcore cyclist, daily commuter, or casual weekend peddler—or none of the above, really—we’re confident this new edit will put a smile on your face.

Shot in Moab, UT with a crew of riders from around the globe—including the UK, Dubai, Russia, Japan, Australia, USA—in weather that seemed to span all four seasons in just a few days, the edit is a case study in juxtaposition, placing a decisively modern activity like contemporary road cycling in one of the oldest, and most alien, landscapes on the planet.
So, pour yourself a fresh cup of joe—or crack a cold one, depending on when and where you’re viewing—and enjoy.
