Sprocket Bicycle Marketplace

#RAGBRAI isn’t just a bike ride—it’s the largest bike tour in the world, a rolling city powered by legs, laughter, and the open road. Over seven days, thousands of riders cross #Iowa end to end, from the Missouri River to the Mississippi, turning quiet highways into a week-long festival of sweat, stories, and small-town magic.

This particular route began in Council Bluffs and flowed east through Harlan, Perry, and Des Moines, where the skyline briefly replaced cornfields.

Then it settled back into the heartland—Knoxville, Oskaloosa, and Fairfield—each town offering pie, music, and strangers who somehow feel like neighbors. It all finished in Fort Madison, where tired legs dipped into the Mississippi and the journey finally exhaled.

It’s not about speed. It’s about rhythm, community, and the strange, beautiful feeling of crossing an entire state under your own power 🚴‍♂️
