RIOT Minneapolis

Womens shirts are now available!

One style for now, and many more to come!

These are printed on ultra soft American Apparel Tri-Blend Track Tees. (Tri-Blend (50% Polyester/25% Cotton/25% Rayon: Polyester retains shape and elasticity; Cotton lends both comfort and durability; addition of Rayon makes for a unique texture and drapes against the body for a slimming look).

Also new are RIOT Mpls earrings!
These beauties are made using recycled bicycle innertubes and are handmade by us.
Lucky for us, I get plenty of flat tires with all the potholes here in Minneapolis.

We have several styles, but no two are exactly the same. Look for them to be online soon.
Here’s a peek at one style;

RIOT Minneapolis is very proud to be a sponsor of the NSC Velocross event & the
First Annual Midwest Singlespeed Cyclocross Championships!

Yes, you read that right! November 7th’s NSC VeloCx is now also the MIDWEST SINGLESPEED CYCLOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS.

We are confirming riders from across the midwest, and offering an Open Category Singlespeed-only, 60 minute Marquee Event! Open to Men and Women, scored separately.

The day will feature a full slate of regular categories and geared cx bike racing too, as well as food/drink, and some fun activities for the kids! (kid’s race, and a inflatable bouncey thing)!

Mark your calendars!

Did you know that all RIOT Minneapolis Designs are Limited Edition runs?
Once these designs sellout they are gone for good, and less than 100 of each are produced.

New batches of designs of Limited Edition shirts will be released, and will also only be available for a short time.

We feel like our designs and products are special, and that our customers are special too. We think you deserve to own the best. That’s why you won’t find our line in national chain discount magazines, or on blowout websites like chainlove or pricepoint.
We don’t over-produce, or over-market, so you won’t show up to the ball in the same dress as 3 other girls.

So to speak.

Each shirt is designed and printed locally, on the softest, best fitting, highest quality shirts we can find. Shirts that are made in the USA, sweatshop-free. That means a lot to us, and we think it means a lot to you too.

Check out the current line, and pick something up before they are gone, and be sure to check back for the next line!

Velodrome racing tonight at the National Sports Center!

If you are in the area and you haven’t checked the racing out, you need to do yourself a favor and go!
Super exciting. Big crowds. Fast fast racing.
