Details & FAQ

Downhill bike lessons do not include rental equipment or a bike haul ticket. This includes group, private, and multiday programs. Downhill group lessons can bundle all 3 (lesson, rental, ticket) for the duration of the lesson. If you need a bike and ticket during a group lesson, book the downhill group lesson package.

All of our Downhill Mountain Bike lessons and programs can be booked online, over the phone, or in person during summer operating hours.

For the best availability, book online in advance. We do sell out of lessons on busy days. If you need assistance booking, please contact us by phone at 800-548-4486.

For day-of bookings, please go to Different Spokes.

For downhill mountain biking, prioritize comfort, protection, and breathability.  We recommend a full-face helmet, knee and elbow pads, bike gloves, and goggles. Clothing should be loose-fitting, durable, and weather-appropriate. Consider baggy shorts or pants with a padded liner, a wicking shirt, and flat grippy rubber shoes.
