Cycle Source Magazine Returns to Its Roots in Tarentum, Pennsylvania After Nearly 30 Years, the Iconic Motorcycle Publication Comes Full Circle
Tarentum, PA – October 2025 — Cycle Source Magazine has officially come home — though truth be told, it never strayed far. After a year and a half in the Midwest, founders Chris and Heather Callen have brought the publication’s headquarters back to Tarentum, Pennsylvania, where the magazine has been proudly rooted since the beginning.
The new offices sit on E. 7th Avenue, just six blocks from where Cycle Source first began nearly 30 years ago. For more than two decades, the magazine called Dellenbaugh Road home before its brief relocation west. Now, the Cycle Source team has returned to familiar ground, taking over a space rich with local motorcycle history — the former Gatto Harley-Davidson service shop.
True to form, the traditional storefront has been transformed in typical Cycle Source style: two custom motorcycles built by Chris himself stand proudly in the window, surrounded by art, memorabilia, and reminders of the magazine’s long-standing connection to the grassroots biker world.
“This is where it all started,” said Chris Callen, Founder and Editor-in-Chief. “When I first started Cycle Source, I printed it, folded it, and handed it out around Western PA. To be back where the idea was born — it feels like coming full circle.”
Along with the magazine, the new location also serves as the headquarters for Cycle Source TV(www.cyclesourcetv.com) and the SmokeOut Rally (www.smokeoutrally.com). After a short pause during the move, Cycle Source TV is back in production, with new shows and projects already rolling out.
“This move isn’t just about geography,” said Heather Callen. “It’s about being closer to family, to our roots, and to the people and place that made all this possible. Tarentum has always been part of our story.”
A Legacy of Real Riders and Real Stories
Founded in 1997, Cycle Source Magazine started as a free regional motorcycle rag — hand-delivered to local bars and bike shops by Chris himself. Built on a blue-collar foundation of storytelling, authenticity, and a love for homegrown custom culture, Cycle Source grew into a national publication and multimedia platform known across the motorcycle industry.
Today, Cycle Source continues to champion the garage builders, everyday riders, and events that keep motorcycle culture alive — with print, digital, and video content that stays true to its mission: real motorcycles, real people, real stories.
Now back where it all began, the future of Cycle Source looks a lot like its past — built by hand, fueled by heart, and proud to call Tarentum home.
