We admit that Men of Steel Racing is a bit of an anomaly in today’s cycling world. Many questions
have come our way asking for more information or clarity. To help clear some confusion, we have
compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions and answered them to the best of our
ability. We hope this helps, but are still happy to field your questions at info@menofsteelracing.
com.
• Do I need a steel bike to join the Men of Steel Racing Club?
No. You do not need a steel bike to join the Men of Steel Racing Club. The only races that
require steel frame bikes are the MoSR Crit. These are races held as part of a larger racing
event. Many of these racing events are promoted by Men of Steel Racing. Information on these
races and events can be found on the Races page of our website.
• What is the Men of Steel Racing Club?
The mission of Men of Steel Racing is to get steel bikes back in the peloton. We have members
around the country. Many join because they like steel. However, we are also a sanctioned USA
Cycling club with the goal of getting more bikes and riders of all types on the road and in the
peloton. We offer a friendly team environment to gain race experience and benefit from the
knowledge of our members. We are not a touring club. Our club rides are designed with race
training in mind. There is no minimum race requirement to join. You don’t have to race at all if you
don’t feel the need. However, as you progress, there is an opportunity to join the MoSR Team that
is more specifically and intensely focused on race participation and results.
• Why should I join Men of Steel Racing?
Besides the benefits of the team and club environment, you will also be eligible for various
discounts. Some of our members belong to other clubs and teams but just wanted to show their
support and we truly appreciate it.
• Is Men of Steel Racing only for men?
Absolutely not! All ages and genders are invited to join. We just thought “People of Steel Racing”
sounded silly.
• So why the Men of Steel Racing Name?
Because it’s cool! The name also fits our stated mission to perfection…to get steel frame racing
bicycles back on the road. We truly believe our steel message will help us reach both new and
younger riders by bringing affordability back to our sport. Does this mean we’re against carbon?
Absolutely not! We all own carbon bikes, too.
• Are you really starting a Steel Team to compete in races?
Yes. For 2010, some team members of Men of Steel Racing will be racing on custom DeRosa
Corums, while competing against the best carbon bikes out there. Can we win against carbon?
Absolutely. And we did it during a sprint in Auburn, Indiana! Click here to read more about our
custom team De Rosas.
• What do I need to do to join the Men of Steel Racing Club?
You can join online when you pre-register for any of the races we’re putting on. Annual
membership is $20, which includes the sought-after Men of Steel Racing logo t-shirt. Please mail
your check and club waiver to: Men of Steel Racing, P.O. Box 13772, Fort Wayne, IN 46865.
We hope you’ll join us for the ride!
