It's official: we are all ELECTRIC!! ⚡️🚴‍♀️

Beginning this September, Valentine Bike Share is a fully electrified program, offering 6 pedal-assist ebikes at our station. This shift to ebikes will transform access around the Cowboy Trail in Valentine (which just celebrated it's 30th Anniversary!)

👏👏 Thank you to all our sponsors, partners, and community friends who made this possible -- now let's get out there and ride!!

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s CowVal ride. Unfortunately, the registrations just weren't there.

While we’re disappointed we won’t be able to celebrate the trail’s 30th Anniversary with this unique ride, we will continue our efforts to fundraise for Valentine Bike Share to go fully electric.

Stay tuned to Valentine Bike Share for future updates.
