Chrome Industries will kick off a seven city tour celebrating its 20th anniversary at its New York City Chrome Hub location Oct. 7. 

New York will be the first of seven events held at each of its regional retail Hubs, celebrating two decades of loyal support from, and service to, the rich urban culture and cycling lifestyle that has characterized the brand and its timeless utility-driven products.
 
Each event will be as much a celebration of each city’s unique urban culture, as it is about Chrome’s first 20 years. The events will showcase the local musicians, artists, designers, makers, food purveyors and of course, cyclists, that collectively form the vivid identity and unique character of each urban community that Chrome exists to serve. The events will also showcase Chrome’s history, through a traveling collection of historic products, photography and other elements that capture the brand’s unique 20-year journey that began with the development of its first Chrome Citizen messenger bag.
 
“You don’t hit the 20-year mark without the loyalty and support of core customers, and it’s for that reason that we want this tour to celebrate them, more than celebrating ourselves,” said Chris Silverman, President, Chrome Industries. “It’s the core cycling community, and the unique urban culture it resides within, that inspires us to do what we do. Our brand and products are merely an extension of all that, and this tour will be our chance to say thanks.”
