American Stages
The igus:bike Tour Across America, From Coastlines to City Skylines!
For one unforgettable journey, the igus:bike hit the open roads of the United States, crossing mountains, deserts, and city skylines to celebrate American innovation, sustainability, and motion on two wheels.
The adventure began in Colorado, where the team rode through rugged mountain passes, showcasing the spirit of exploration and engineering at altitude. From there, the igus:bike rolled into Utah, riding through its red rock canyons a reminder that progress and nature can coexist beautifully.
Next stop: Las Vegas, where even Elvis himself couldn’t resist a ride. Amid the city’s neon glow, the igus:bike stood as a symbol of the bright future of sustainable mobility.
The tour then hit the California coast, cruising from Santa Cruz through Los Angeles, past the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and up to Northern California, tracing a route where innovation, film, and technology meet the sea.
After the West Coast ride, the bike traveled east to Atlanta, Georgia, for special visits with Coca-Cola, the Olympic Rings, and several iconic landmarks celebrating creativity, connection, and global spirit.
Finally, the tour made its way to the East Coast, rolling through New York City’s bustling streets, the historic charm of Boston, and ending in Rumford, Rhode Island, home to igus Inc. USA. There, the bike’s American journey came full circle, connecting coast to coast in the name of motion, sustainability, and innovation.
From mountain highs to ocean drives, the igus:bike Tour of the USA proved that when engineering meets adventure, there’s no limit to how far we can go.
