Citywide Alleycat V Portraits (Part 1)
Citywide Alleycat is the premier race in Philadelphia. Check out who pulled up and what bike they were riding.

Citywide Alleycat is the premier urban cycling challenge in Philly and 154 riders registered last weekend for the fifth edition. If you want to learn more, I recommend checking out this early Trellis post about Citywide Alleycat III.
As the race unfolded, we composed a portrait of each rider and had them respond to the prompts below. Amid the chaos, someone described Passyunk Gateway as the Met Gala of alleycat checkpoints. Watch out Vogue, South Philly couture is here to stay.
- Name + hometown if not Philly:
- Insta/website:
- Bike year/make/model:
- Fun fact about the bike:
Meet the riders, check out the bikes, and keep the convo going in the comments at the bottom of the page. Check out Citywide Alleycat Portraits (Part 2) here. Big thanks to Jarrah and Dan for organizing another epic race.
