Join Our Team

 

We are looking to add to our sales team at Trail Bicycles, a community-focused shop located in the beautiful riding destination of the Comox Valley (Courtenay, Cumberland, Forbidden Plateau). Primarily a mountain bike shop, we sell and service all kinds of bikes from road and gravel to electric commuter - plus the gear to go with it. With world class bikes from Trek, Norco, Pivot, Ibis and We Are One,it’ll be easy for you to get excited about what we sell and ride! As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage anyone to apply. We are  seeking enthusiastic and outgoing people to join our team!

First thing you need to know: this isn’t a typical retail gig. As a Trail Bicycles Sales Associate, you’ll be on the frontlines helping people have fun by riding bikes. You’ll get to learn about some of the smartest products in the cycling industry, make thoughtful recommendations to your customers, and carry on meaningful relationships with riders in your community.

The pace is fast, the customers are curious, and having an all-for-one, customer-centric team mentality is huge. We value hospitality skills first, and we’d rather hire someone who’s eager to learn. If you’re already a bike expert, that’s awesome. If not, we’ll train you. The key is that you know how to treat customers, evaluate their needs, and exceed their expectations.
