Fall is actually a great time to think about what kind of bike fits your life. 🍂

They fold down in seconds, fit in small spaces, and are surprisingly capable for everyday riding. If you have been curious about trying something different or getting into cycling without a lot of storage hassle, come in and we will walk you through your options. 🚲

Fall family rides on leaf-covered trails are genuinely one of the best ways to spend a weekend this time of year. 🍂

The colors, the cool air, and the fact that the kids are actually excited to be outside together. If your family bikes have been sitting in the garage, October is calling. Come in and make sure everyone is set up and ready to roll before the season ends. 🚴‍♀️🍁

October foliage from a bike trail is something that has to be experienced to be believed. 🤩

October rides with your crew make the cool weather completely worth it. 😎

There is a special energy to fall group rides. Everyone is a little more focused, the pace feels natural, and the scenery does half the work of keeping you motivated.

Golden hour, golden aspens, and a trail that looks like it was designed specifically for October. 🍂

Fall mountain biking is genuinely in a category of its own. The light is lower, the air is sharp, and the colors make every photo look unreal. If you have not gotten out on the trails this fall yet, there is still time. Come in and make sure your bike is dialed in before the trails change for the season. 🫡
