We were in BV for a high school MTB race and literally had 30 minutes to walk the town before a…read moreplanned pre-ride of the race course with our team. We entered Boneshaker with only 5 minutes to spare, just browsing. They carry 2 of my favorite bikes - Cannondale + Electra - so I instantly liked their taste. We were greeted by Dave (owner) who saw our MTB shirts and asked about the race. Then a fellow patron/rider came over and we chatted about favorite trails. Really friendly folks. Anywho, next thing I know, they're putting clip-ins on a full-suspension bike for my son to demo during the pre-ride. With barely a signature and zero deposit, my son walked out *on air* 5 minutes later, excited to demo another new bike. (Back story: He rides a hard tail but loves downhill and wants full-suspension even though he races XC. Since we aren't made of $ and he's midway through his teenage growth spurt, we aren't buying 2 very expensive bikes. So he's been looking for one to serve both purposes but every bike he's demo'd has been too heavy.) The bike was 4 lbs lighter than others he demo'd and he loved it. After sleeping on it and talking to our team mechanic, we decided it would be a good fit for his needs. Dave + team gave us a pretty good deal on the bike (a 2017 Norco Optic) but it was an outgoing model (making room for 2018s) so we already knew this was the time of year to score a deal. And it was a demo. Regardless, they took care to ensure the bike was perfectly tuned for my son's size, weight, and riding needs. Two hours later, he raced it and came across the Finish with a grin even the Cheshire Cat would envy. Win-win! Bottom line: Friendly, no nonsense staff. Very knowledgeable. We'll definitely pop back in on Dave + team next time we're in BV.

This place is unbelievable. Such an incredible selection; changed my life. I would recommend this…read moreplace to anyone, bikers and non-bikers alike!

I researched many companies before choosing ATR. I am so glad we did. After reading the positive…read morereviews, I booked this company online for a half day rafting trip in Brown's Canyon. Someone called to confirm the next day. I mentioned that one of our party of 4 had a shoulder issue and was concerned about having to be responsible for too much of the paddling. The woman on the phone said that this wasn't a problem and that maybe they would put an extra staff person on the boat to help. She emphasized that they were a smaller company than most and were used to accommodating their clients so that they had the best experience. Sure enough, that morning, we were assigned Ryan as our guide and Bria, to help with the paddling. There was also a family of three in the office at the same time. I was concerned that we would all end up crammed into the same boat. To our delight, each group had their own raft and guide and we got Bria as a bonus. We noticed other companies that had 8 people on their rafts. During the trip we found out that Ryan and Bria had just gotten married a week ago. Both of them did a great job. They pointed out the scenery and highlights of the river and kept us informed of what to expect at every turn. Although Ryan was extremely conscientious about safety issues, reminding us to plant our feet before every rapid and instructing us about the kind of paddling that we would need for each one, he was also emphasized that they wanted us to have fun and enjoy the experience. We rented wet suits which I would highly recommend. You get splashed enough to keep you from getting too hot. Two of us rented water booties, the other two had water shoes with closed toes. I would also recommend that you wear fingerless gloves as sometimes we chafed our hands against the side of the raft while paddling. I can't say enough positive things about this company including the fact that they give your two more miles of rafting and two extra rapids than all of the other companies. The charge the same price as all the other companies but give a much better value.

An amazing day, our guide Karen, if I spelled her name right, really did an amazing job. It was my…read morefirst rafting trip, an because of this company, I can safely say it won't be my last. We had our own raft, and while helmets are indeed optional, they say this is because they have never once had a head injury in 30 plus years of business. Their guides are paid better here than most other companies and they only have to go out on one trip a day, unlike most of the larger rafting companies. I for one prefer a well paid, energetic, and alert guide.
