Summer solstice is almost here. More daylight. More miles. 🚲

With room for up to 3" tires, the Tumalo goes beyond where the pavement ends.

Grab your bike. Bring a friend. See where the road leads.

🔆 How are you spending the longest day of the year?

The Tour Divide rolled out of Banff last Friday. 200+ riders. 2,700 miles to Antelope Wells, New Mexico.

🚵‍♀️ The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route is one of those challenges that asks a lot from each rider and from the bike beneath them.

Last year, Erin and Megan took it on with their Java. Washboard roads, endless gravel, and days that didn't go to plan. They kept pushing—together.

Follow on Instagram to see more GDMBR photos, get inspired, and keep up with their next adventure.

Sending good vibes, tailwinds, and clear skies to every dot rolling south this year. We'll be cheering from the West.

From our factory tours in Eugene to sharing the roads around Cottage Grove—thank you for being part of the Northwest Tandem Rally. 🚲

Events like this remind us what makes tandem riding so special: shared miles, great company, and a community that keeps showing up for one another. We feel grateful to be part of it. 💙

Thank you to everyone who braved the rain, made the trip, and took the time to come together. And a special thanks to the NWTR board, Mudslinger Events, and the town of Cottage Grove for hosting and welcoming the rally with open arms.

See you next year!

Happy World Bicycle Day. 🌎

Bicycles mean freedom—the freedom to explore under your own power. For Ron and Petra, that means reaching places like the Nordkapp Globe at Norway’s North Cape and the Transfagarasan Highway in Romania.

Whether you're out for a quick spin or planning a multi-day journey, we’re grateful to be part of your ride.

How are you celebrating World Bicycle Day?

Eric and Melanie's Steelhead. Built to take them beyond where the road ends, with some of our favorite bits:

- Luna Carbon wheelset, handbuilt just a stone's throw away by our friends at Astral Cycling.
- Pathfinder lighting system: SON28 dynamo hub + Sinewave Cycles Beacon headlight keep them moving from first light to long after sunset. 🔆
- S&S couplers for easier airline travel. Packed inside the two travel cases, their tandem flies as standard luggage. ✈
- Front and rear Tubus racks, ready for whatever the ride demands.
- A SteerStopper keeps things stable when the load gets heavy, so they can focus less on the gear and more on the experience.

On their first day out, they clipped on their rear bag and took off on a 16-mile spin through Eugene. First ride on their new tandem, in the place where it was built.

Last thing left to answer? Where to go next. 🌎

New chapter. New journey. New Bike Day. 🚲

New Bike Day isn’t just about a new bike, it’s the start of something new. New places, new opportunities, and a whole new way to explore together.

Eric and Melanie's tandem of choice? Our Steelhead all-road tandem. With 45mm tire clearance, a carbon fork, and rugged Astral Luna carbon wheelset, their Steelhead is just as at home road-touring in Southern California as it is packed in the back of their plane for backcountry gravel adventures.

Built for wherever the road, or the runway, may lead. 🌎

Stay tuned for a detailed look at their Steelhead soon.
