Allied Cycle Works puts Rogers on the map for bespoke bikes

Allied Cycle Works in Rogers is part of an exclusive club of bike makers that’s not only based in the U.S., but crafts frames from lightweight carbon fiber. The big picture: The vast majority of an estimated 15 million bikes sold in the U.S. each year are imported — mostly from Asia. Allied is among those proving that bike manufacturing can be done domestically, although with a price tag to match.
