Formula Fixed Brings Fast And Viral Cycling To The Bay Area For Its Western Qualifiers
Behind the movement are Bay Area cycling staples James and Clare Grady, who have been organizing races in the region for more than a decade. The Gradys founded the iconic Mission Crit, which quickly established itself as one of the world's's most prestigious fixed-gear criterium races through 2022.
Now, with Formula Fixed, the Gradys are building on that legacy: transforming the underground appeal of fixed-gear racing into a format designed for fans, streaming audiences, and viral moments.
“Call it a remix of the landscape,” said James Grady, Co-Founder of Formula Fixed.“Formula Fixed is about growing the sport while staying true to its culture. Having partners like the Oakland Grand Prix only makes the weekend more powerful for racers, fans, and the community.”
