Now Is The Season
When the temperatures drop and the leaves turn colour, it's time to crank your pedals and spin your wheels. Fall is the year's best time for mountain biking in the Comox Valley. Here is what you need to hit your favourite trails and stay dry and warm.
Footwear
Cold days suck the heat right out of your shoes. Insulated shoes and thermal socks help keep your feet warm, waterproof is also nice to have.
Gear
Lights , grippy tires, fenders, reflective gear, seat covers, cleaning and other TLC supplies for your bicycle - we're going into the dark and wet season.
Apparel
Colder mornings, cooler days, wet trails - that calls for wind and waterproof gear, base layers, performance shells, and protective gear.
Gloves
Cold hands are almost worse than cold feet. You do need them to hold your handlebars, after all. Waterproof, windproof, relfective, sub-zero....
++ You don't have to wait for Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Boxing Day: We are locking in OUR lowest prices up until the end of the year - and if we drop the price, we'll pay you back the difference as in-store credit. ++

Smart trainers allow you to connect seamlessly with your favorite app, track your metrics, join group rides, and more - all from the comfort of your home on your own bike. We also have basic trainers and rollers for a lower tech, lower cost option.
