High desert riding at 4,500 feet

Top bike shops in Reno, Nevada

With 29 local bike shops, Reno supports a cycling community that spans urban commuting and backcountry exploration across the Sierra Nevada foothills.

Part of the Carson City, NV metro area

Reno cyclists contend with intense sun, low humidity, and quick elevation changes that demand reliable drivetrains and durable tires—which is why shops here stock trusted names like Shimano, SRAM, Teravail, and 45NRTH. The scene splits between year-round road and gravel riders tackling the high desert landscape, and commuters navigating the city's expanding trail network. Winter brings fat biking to the Carson Range, while spring and fall are prime for the region's technical singletrack.
