Spoke & Terrain: The OBED Gravel Bike Magazine
AN EXCITING TURN IN OUR STORY...
Welcome to a project born from months of hard work and a passion for storytelling.
Born in the hills of Tennessee, we’ve developed a range of gravel bikes poised to carry you in your adventures, and we felt it was time to bring our community together and share the joy we have found in OBED bikes.
In our first publication, Spoke & Terrain, we bring to you a collective of narratives that speak to what inspires us to create incredible bikes built for your own adventure.

It all goes back to our collective motivation: to enjoy ourselves and play. Trail-hardened bikepacker, weekend warrior, hardcore racer, we are of the same ilk.
We collate the events, the athletes, the moments of our burgeoning, dusty discipline and celebrate them here, for you to enjoy. We hope this assemblage of stories, recollections from the trail and the race, inspire you to look inward, and explore outward—wherever that takes you.
