In his own words, "Owner and builder/mechanic Tom Hart has been a rider for decades."…read more In other words, he's a genius with bicycles. It is worth the trek to Bayfield simply to experience Tom's knowledge and love of cycling. The man knows his craft. He studied at mechanics and construction at United Bicycle Institute of Ashland, OR. He rides daily. What's the aforementioned knowledge worth? A great ride on some stellar trails around Northern Wisconsin. Tom bikes to work everyday, he knows the area, he rides the trails. He'll rent you a bike, and talk cycles as much, or as little as you would like. The rental selection is extensive, the trails are enjoyable, I highly reccomend a visit.

It is rare to find a bike shop that is not filled with bravado and egos. I avoid bike shops as much as possible because of that and my bike suffers the consequences. Trevor gave a good bike tune-up for a very fair price. I appreciate that they put fresh cable crimps on so they know which cables they have worked on. Moreover, he took the time to give me some solid instructions on how to not wear out my brakes in the future - and did so like a gifted teacher. Priceless. I'll bring bikes here again, just for the humble and knowledgeable service. Thank you!

I finally realized they basically were incapable of fixing it and went to pick it up. They charged me over $400 for NOT fixing my bike. I essentially had to pay a ransom to get it back. We wound up taking it to a real bike repair shop in the Cities where they told us it needed a five dollar fuse and ten minutes worth of labor. As a repair shop, E-Bike of Duluth is indifferent and incompetent. I'll be suggesting Rad Bike remove them from their recommended service locations.

We checked with a number of shops in the are to find enough bikes for our group and that would also accommodate 1/2 day rentals. We found the Ski Hut location near Spirit Mountain to have a good selection of bikes with half day rental available and located right adjacent to the trail. We worked with Chris and Shawn to get bikes lined up for our group. They were both really great to work with, totally low key, knowledgeable and helpful. We upgraded our original plans to ebikes which were a big hit as we had widely different endurance abilities in our group. Chris set us up with Trek bikes with the Bosch mid-drive system. Really a nice quality bike for a rental and decently priced too. Easily my first choice shop for my next visit to the area.

There's a bunch of interesting biking gear, mid-to-high end bicycles, bike rentals, and apparently cross country ski gear and rentals during the winter months. After passing the big (nay, huge!) "wolf" swing set outside several times on our way to-from our B&B, we felt we had to stop by to check it out. The staff was very helpful and informative, although it was a surprisingly slow Labor Day. There is also a nascent brewery opening in the same building (Adventure Brewing), but they were not yet pouring their first batches (although they should be by now). We took advantage of the short walking paths through the fields, which apparently turn into X-C ski trails once the snow piles up. We were so impressed with Bayfield and its typical annual snowfall that we are planning to return in the winter for a weekend of skiing!
