One of the best parts of bike touring is the balance between wide-open trail miles and rolling into those small towns full of charm, coffee shops, and character.

So here’s the big question:
Do you ride for the quiet trail views
OR
Do you ride for the small-town stops and hidden gems

Drop your answer in the comments – we’re curious which side you’re on!

Question for our riders:
What’s your go-to heat survival trick on a summer ride?
We’ll start: frozen water bottles at the bottom of the pannier = ice-cold sips all day.

We ride because it’s not about speed or distance — it’s about freedom.
Why do you ride?

Golden light, quiet trails, crisp air.
Fall is fleeting—but on a bike, you can stretch it out just a little longer.

Ride the Katy, GAP, or C&O with us this October.

Friday fix: a little trail therapy.
No appointments needed — just your bike, a stretch of trail, and that feeling you can’t get anywhere else.

Wherever your wheels take you this weekend, we hope it’s somewhere that makes you breathe a little deeper and smile a little wider.

What Kind of Bike Do You Ride?

Every trail has its own personality—some are smooth and paved, others are packed limestone or gravel. The bike you choose can make all the difference.

What kind of bike do you ride on your favorite trail?

Hybrid?

Gravel?

Touring?

Electric?

Something else?

Tell us what works best for you and why—it might help someone who’s planning their next ride or thinking about switching things up.

(Photos welcome too!)

We get this question a lot from folks joining our bike tours, and it’s always great to hear what real riders are using out there.
