We Are Cyclists
A SHIMANO Film Celebrating Community, Representation, and the Joy of Riding
A SHIMANO Film Celebrating Belonging on Bikes
SHIMANO is proud to present We Are Cyclists, a new film that continues the story of All Bodies on Bikes, a grassroots movement turned global community dedicated to making cycling more inclusive, welcoming, and affirming for riders of all sizes.
We Are Cyclists picks up five years after the release of the original All Bodies on Bikes film and reflects on how what began as a bold declaration, that people of all sizes deserve space, joy, and visibility in cycling, has since grown into a thriving nonprofit with 14 chapters across the United States and a global community that continues to expand year after year.

Featuring All Bodies on Bikes co-founders Marley Blonsky and Kailey Kornhauser, We Are Cyclists captures the heart and soul of the movement through a series of rides, gatherings, and shared experiences filmed across the country. The film spans wildly different landscapes and events, from a rainy bike camping trip in Northwest Arkansas to group rides at The MADE Show in Portland, Oregon, to navigating all five boroughs of New York City during the Five Boro Tour.
The film also highlights the diversity of the organization’s leadership and community, including riders and chapter leaders from across the country. It was filmed across three separate trips nationwide, allowing space for spontaneity, connection, and moments of joy that define the All Bodies on Bikes experience.
While the film itself is only 10 minutes long, it actually took three different filming sessions spread across the country,” says Blonsky. “Giving lots of opportunities for silly shenanigans, bloopers, and ridiculousness.”
For SHIMANO, We Are Cyclists aligns with the brand’s ongoing commitment to supporting diverse riders, communities, and pathways into cycling. By amplifying stories like All Bodies on Bikes, SHIMANO continues to support initiatives that expand access, foster belonging, and celebrate cycling in all its forms.
At its core, We Are Cyclists is a reminder that cycling is not defined by speed, distance, or appearance, but by the shared experience of movement and community.
“No matter the distance or your speed, we’re here to celebrate all riders, all bikes, and all rides,” Blonsky says. “I hope this film brings a smile to your face and inspires you to get out for a ride.”
