There is a stretch of trail that starts a few blocks from our front door, and over the next six weeks it is going to look better than it does at any other point in the year.

The Chief Standing Bear Trail runs roughly 23 miles from the Gage County Foundation Depot right here in Beatrice down to the Kansas line, following the Blue River through farmland, prairie, and long shaded runs of tree canopy. There is a bike repair station at every one of the four trailheads, so you are never really stranded out there. You do not have to ride the whole thing either. Go out as far as you feel like and turn around, because a ride that ends when you want it to is still a ride.

If you have not been on it since spring, this is your reminder. How far south have you made it? Tell us in the comments, and if the bike needs anything before you go, we are at 719 Market St, Wednesday through Saturday.

People keep asking us whether an ebike is cheating, and the honest answer is that you are still pedaling the whole time. What the motor does is flatten the hills and cut a headwind down to something reasonable, which turns the ride you would have talked yourself out of into the ride you actually take.

The Retrospec Valen REV 3 just came in and it is on our Marketplace page now, brand new, with fat tires that shrug off gravel and chewed up pavement, a long bench seat, and a rear rack. It runs up to 20 mph and goes as far as 75 miles on a single charge, which is more range than most people around here will use in a week of riding. Fall is the right time to buy one, because cooler air means you are not fighting the heat on top of everything else, and there is a solid two months of good riding left before anything gets put away.

Come ride it around the block, because two minutes on the bike explains it better than we can. We are at 719 Market St in Beatrice, Wednesday through Saturday, and you can message us to hold it.

Almost every bike that comes in this time of year needs the same three things, and none of them are dramatic on their own.

There is usually a chain that has stretched past its limit, brake pads worn thinner than the rider realized, and tires holding less air than they should. Individually those are small fixes. Together they are the whole difference between a bike that feels tired and a bike that feels new again. That is most of what a fall tune up is, along with a cable check, a bearing check, and a set of eyes that have seen a few thousand of these come through the door.

Bring it in now while the schedule is still open and you will have it back for the best riding weeks of the year. We are at 719 Market St in Beatrice, Wednesday through Saturday. What is your bike doing lately that it was not doing back in May?

September is when a bike stops being a summer toy and turns into the best way to get across town. The mornings are cool, there is no parking to fight, and most of the running around people do in Beatrice is short enough that the car never really earns its keep.

The Aventon Abound SR Stealth just went up on our Marketplace page, and it is built for exactly that kind of day. It has a long rear rack with a padded passenger seat and a backrest, side bags for whatever you are hauling home, and 20 inch wheels on an aluminum frame that keep it steady when it is loaded down. This one is our shop demo with 20 miles on it, so it is essentially new, and it is listed at a lowered price that comes in below what you would pay online.

It was assembled and tuned right here, it is ready to ride the day you pick it up, and when it needs adjusting down the road you bring it back to a building you can walk into.

What is the one trip around town you would ride instead of drive? Tell us below, then come take a look at 719 Market St, Wednesday through Saturday, or message us to hold it.

Summer does not end on a calendar. It ends the last time you ride like it is summer.

Labor Day weekend is coming, school is back in session, and the evenings are getting shorter. Before the season officially turns, get the family out for one more ride. No destination required. Just the crew, the trail, and the kind of afternoon everyone remembers in February.

And when you get back, if anything on anyone's bike felt off, bring it by. We are at 719 Market St in Beatrice, Wednesday through Saturday, ready to keep you rolling straight into fall.

School is back, and somewhere in Beatrice there is a little girl who deserves to roll up to the bike rack on the coolest ride in her grade.

This Batch girls 16 inch BMX is used but honestly like new, with fresh handlebar grips and a full tune up from our team, so it is ready to ride the second it leaves the shop. The aluminum frame keeps it light enough for small riders to handle on their own, which matters a lot when they are learning to feel confident on two wheels. First bikes and first school years have a way of happening at the same time, and this one is ready for both.

Kids outgrow bikes faster than shoes, which is exactly why a like new bike at a fraction of retail is the smart parent move. Know a family with a young rider who would love this? Tag them below, then message us to hold it or bring your kiddo by for a test spin at 719 Market St in Beatrice, Wednesday through Saturday.

Labor Day weekend is the last big trip of the summer for a lot of families, and the difference between an easy trip and a stressful one usually comes down to loading up.

We keep hitch racks, trunk racks, and cargo gear in stock and listed on our Facebook Marketplace, each one priced below what you will find online. Whether you are hauling the whole family's bikes to the lake or just want your own ride along for the weekend, we can match you to the right setup for your vehicle before the holiday gets here.

Browse the lineup at the link below, then stop by Wednesday through Saturday at 719 Market St in Beatrice.

It is National Dog Day, and around here that is basically a company holiday. Meet the reason why.

This is Oggie, our Chief Morale Officer at Big Blue Bike Company. His responsibilities include greeting customers, supervising repairs from a comfortable distance, and making sure no snack goes unnoticed anywhere in the building. He works hard, naps harder, and has never once missed a day of being a very good boy, which is why today is officially his day and the rest of us are just working through it.

Fair warning: some customers come in for a bike and stay for the ear scratches, and we fully support that. Celebrate National Dog Day with us by dropping a photo of your pup in the comments, because Oggie would like to see the competition. Then come by 719 Market St in Beatrice, Wednesday through Saturday, and he will happily approve your new ride in person.
