    "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep going." Albert Einstein
    Susan R.

    Looking for local adventure times, see Reno by bike. Adventures awaited us by electric bike ride. Now if needed they have "regular bikes," too. When we arrived we were greeted in a timely fashion. A gentleman guided us that while an appointment is needed; he did have a few bikes available just for us. Yay! You are required to place the price of the purchase of the e bike that your renting on your credit card, for liability purposes. Make sure and have enough credit to cover this expense; plus the cost of the ride. The bike expenses was 200 for two hours, which seemed reasonable considering we were on vacation. As we zoomed away from the organization we realized that the cost of the rental should of included a full charge for the e bike rental. While the electric bike does regenerate as you ride without it having that full charge means that your doing some work too. Most of Reno is all hilly terrain and streets, so we have to work it a little to keep the battery pace going. We did loose the electric power for one of the bikes just before returning to the business because the batteries just gave up and needed a fresh charge. Upon returning we were greeted again. The friendliness left the owners face when we informed him of the situation that we encountered while riding. No disrespect towards the owners, but no discounts were offered. We just implied that we were displeased with the quality of the bike and it's up keep, but in the future would not use this particular business again. While the maintenance and battery did leave our ride a little bitter we still had a blast. One must not dwell on the experience of the negative, but focus on the good outcome that came from our journey that brought us to this destination. We were able to ride for a short time and see parts of Reno that would be unavailable under normal circumstances. We had one another and an e bike that performed most of its functions, beyond that it could of been worse. Before renting an electric bike make sure that you check the battery life. Do some research prior to renting an electric bicycle to make sure that it's sound, the tires are inflated, and regular inspections are taking place. One wrong move at these accelerated speeds can mean broken bones or some other serious or irreversible damage to you or someone you love. Make the most of your decision and life. Have wonderful adventures and keep on smiling with two hands on the handle bars. Shall we go for a ride!

    This was our family's 2nd time with Sierra, first trip was 2 years ago and they were the brightest spot of our pandemic vacation! Today we went back with two more and it was the very BEST! They give perfect instruction, great tips, we get helmets, life jackets, and very cool tubes! All of the equipment is top of the line and made us all very very pro! The river path is awesome, equal parts serene and fun Indiana Jone's epic adventure! My 10 year old was able to handle it, they had equipment her size, and my 6'4" husband was accommodated just as well. We had a blast and will be back for more!!! Thank you!!!

    Buddy and I had a fantastic time tuning the truckee River. Relatively gentle run on the truckee river, but not without some rocks and turbulence. Will do again!

    We did the snowmobile tour. I'm 64 years old & had SO MUCH FUN! The scenery was gorgeous, of course. The tour was about 2 1/2 hours long. The van picked us up at the casino & drove us an hour to the tour starting point. The staff was courteous & our tour guide was friendly & generous with his great smile. I would so recommend this trip.

    I was recently near Truckee, CA for 8 days with my girlfriend. She had expressed interest in…read moremountain biking... and considering I'm heavily into mountain biking (11+ years) and want to mountain bike with her, I didn't want to mess up this opportunity! I called every mountain biking shop in Truckee. I decided to go with Dirt Gypsy Adventures and a private mountain biking clinic and mountain bike ride with our instructor (Mark). I couldn't have asked for it to go any better... my girlfriend learned a ton (and I learned a handful of things too) and it helped her feel more confident on the trails. At first, I didn't understand how we could spend 2 hours learning how to ride a bike - I quickly realized what I didn't know and how patient Mark was. I particularly loved his analogies and the way he articulated these concepts. We also rented a bike for the following morning and went out by ourselves, too. She's now riding with friends in the Bay Area this weekend and we've looked at a couple bikes for her. Mark, our instructor, did a great job - lifetime of experiences racing and teaching. I couldn't have asked for more. The whole process facilitated by Ryan went extremely smooth. Thank you!

Upon arrival my bike was ready to go in 5 minutes. We did a quick fit and, this is clutch, they spent time looking at my planned route and gave some feedback. For my return, same took about 5 minutes. The bike itself was in great condition.

The views are EXCEPTIONAL and out of this world. Trail: The path itself takes 1.5 hrs to the end and back, and there are out of the world spots along the trail to snap photos or take breaks at. The first 1/3 or so of the trail is actually on the streets/highway leading to the lake itself. It's pretty safe even with cars--just be mindful of traffic. Also be mindful of foot traffic on the trail, with kids, dogs, other bikes, etc. Bikes: Highly recommend the e-bikes. They're top notch, give a good workout, but also help immensely with the uphill climbs, which there are many of. Only drawback is that there aren't any bikes for shorter girlies like myself, or at least there weren't when we dropped by. Price: Great value for all bikes. There's also a group discount of like 10% if your group has 5 or more which was a nice touch. Overall very friendly for non-frequent bikers like myself and athletic folks alike! THANK YOU Vista Trail Bikes for an unforgettable and exhilarating experience! Had such a blast with my group thanks to this shop, and hope to return in a future excursion to the lake!

It was amazing with little snow flakes dropping as we took off on the ride. The full loop from shop to end of sand beach was just shy of 10 miles and it was beautiful. The shop has a 2 hour minimum which is perfect for making the loop and stopping at some sites along the way to grab photos and explore. They provide everything including bike locks and water bottles for your ride! All in all highly recommended and if you do it during off season the path is not busy so cruising was very relaxing.
