IRVINE, California (March 18, 2026) \u2014 Shimano has released a new short film celebrating one of cycling\u2019s most visible grassroots movements. We Are Cyclists<\/a> continues the story of All Bodies on Bikes, a community-driven effort focused on making cycling more inclusive and welcoming for riders of all sizes.<\/p>\n

The 10-minute film arrives five years after the original\u00a0All Bodies on Bikes<\/a>\u00a0documentary helped launch the movement into the national spotlight. What began as a declaration that people of all sizes deserve joy, visibility, and space in cycling has since grown into a nonprofit organization with\u00a014 chapters across the United States\u00a0and an expanding global community.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The film features All Bodies on Bikes co-founders Marley Blonsky and Kailey Kornhauser and captures the energy of the community through rides, gatherings, and shared experiences across the country. Filmmakers followed the group through a variety of events and landscapes, from a rainy bikepacking trip in Northwest Arkansas to group rides during The MADE Show in Portland, and the massive TD Five Boro Bike Tour in New York City.<\/p>\n

The production also highlights the diversity of the organization\u2019s leadership and membership. Crews filmed across three separate trips nationwide, allowing time for the spontaneous moments and connections that define the All Bodies on Bikes community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the film itself is only 10 minutes long, it actually took three different filming sessions spread across the country,\u201d Blonsky said. \u201cGiving lots of opportunities for silly shenanigans, bloopers, and ridiculousness.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Shimano, the film reflects the company\u2019s broader commitment to supporting riders from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. By amplifying stories like All Bodies on Bikes, the brand aims to support efforts that expand access to cycling and strengthen the sense of belonging within the sport.<\/p>\n

At its core,\u00a0We Are Cyclists<\/a>\u00a0emphasizes a simple message: cycling is not defined by speed, distance, or appearance, but by the shared experience of movement and community.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter the distance or your speed, we\u2019re here to celebrate all riders, all bikes, and all rides,\u201d Blonsky said. \u201cI hope this film brings a smile to your face and inspires you to get out for a ride.\u201d<\/p>\n
