The 2025 Ibis Ripley continues to set the benchmark for mid-travel trail bikes, combining nimbleness, efficiency, and all-around capability.

As my 12-year-old son continues to progress as a cyclist, I too can dedicate more time to staying fit, and when my age becomes a challenge, I can rely on technology to make sure that we can prolong our cycling journey together. Get outside with your kids as much as possible and cherish the time you can do it together.

Removing the stress in our lives while focusing on things like being faster on a local hill climb, the smoothness of our cadence, or shifting at just the right time, is just what we need as a distraction.

Mara definitely earned the 2 stars that she won during her cycling career but those who know her personally, feel that she has earned many more since she retired from racing. She is everything that embodies a cyclist in its purest form and checks all the boxes when it comes to building a community based around a healthy and fun activity.

Again, if you have ever stepped foot in our shop at some point, even if you don’t know who Kevin is, he probably knows your bike and has definitely had a huge impact on your shopping experience with us. To say Kevin is the nuts and bolts of the business is the biggest understatement of the century.

In effect, his work on these trails is mostly for other users. Couple that with the nearly selfless act of raising dogs for the blind and you have a multitasking giver; He is volunteering to make trails for others while volunteering to raise dogs for people who need them.

When asking Dwight if the dogs ever impede him and his other buddies on the trail, he said that it does not happen often. “They flow with me,” and “They can do features that I have to walk,” he muses. In fact, Hunter and Sky sense the riding conditions based on the sounds of Dwight’s bike, his speed, and his body language.

“Our employees and managers ride our bikes everywhere. We commute and recreate on all surfaces and we love all cycling experiences and adventures.”
