Bikes - Gear - Coffee - Beer

Switchback Gear Exchange helps improve our environment and community by offering a hub centered around bikes, beer, gear, and coffee--and connecting people to the natural world through outdoor recreation. We offer indoor and outdoor seating, and are open 7 days a week. We offer baked goods and snacks from local small businesses (but you are welcome to bring in outside

food), and have a rotating selection of craft beers and cocktails, kavas, and kombucha available. Have a seat in either our cozy indoor cafe or out on the spacious patio! We also offer bike maintenance, bicycle wheelbuilding services, bike gear and camping supplies. We buy and sell used bikes! We are passionate about teaching others and helping our community have safe and enjoyable outdoor recreation experiences. When you come in to Switchback, you can expect to get good solid friendly advice, and not feel pressured into buying some big fancy expensive item that you don't need.
