Returning to the source: Cycle Source Magazine is coming home after co-locating with Klock Werks in South Dakota for the past year and a half. Founders Chris and Heather Callen have brought the publication’s headquarters back to Tarentum, Pennsylvania, where the magazine had been rooted since the beginning.
And it is no ordinary homecoming! Cycle Source has taken over a space rich with local motorcycle history — the former Gatto Harley-Davidson service shop! 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.
“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.”
“This move isn’t just about geography,” Heather Callen added. “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.”
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.
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.
A Legacy Of Real Riders & 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.
