Gravity got you down? Looking to add some play and liveliness to your riding? Learning to hop your bike in the air at will is a great starting point for a more active riding style. Besides the utility of being able to float over roots, rocks, & holes, hopping and popping around the trail on your bike is just pure fun.
One-Day Workshops are a quick + easy way to work on your bike skills — we've got 2 levels of Hops & Drops coming up next Sunday, October 6th.
Register through the link in our bio: only $73 per session with no previous attendance necessary!

Any trail. Every ride. No excuse. 🦜
Ten years since the first Troy launch, Devinci is thrilled to introduce the fifth generation of the Troy—their most advanced aluminum frame yet, built by hand in Canada and guaranteed for life.
What's better than the launch of just one new Devinci? The launch of TWO. We're stoked to see two new versions of the platform: the 150mm-travel Troy & the 130mm-travel Troy ST (short travel). These colours are just *chefs kiss* 😙

Heading into fall with the E-Troy Bosch. It was the perfect bike for towing kids around around all summer, with over 99 tows; it proved to be reliable and smoooooth 😪

Join us next Sunday for 2 of our classic one-day workshops!
🔹Cornering should be one of the most fun parts of mountain biking. In this workshop you’ll be equipped with the fundamental skills necessary to mastering each corner. You’ll be braking smarter, trusting the traction, and driving your bike through turns.
🔹Rolls feeling too intimidating? In this workshop we’ll practice the skills necessary to maximize control and confidence on larger rolls. You’ll be riding with more precision on all rolling terrain, whether mellow or more challenging.

Patrick Nolan (Owner+Head Coach) has been working as a coach and instructor since 2008 and brings over a decade of experience and expertise to the trails. Creating Nolan Riding was his response to an expressed need by his community. Circa 2013 friends and families were asking for professional and high quality cycling and mountain bike instruction and coaching, and with his background in coaching, MTB riding/racing, and youth programs it was a perfect time to launch Nolan Riding. Many of his original clients are still riding with him today, and some of them have even become part of the coaching team!

Through excellence in our coaching, positive role modelling both on and off the bike, and a passion for sharing the outdoors with people, we serve our community as exceptional ambassadors to the sport of mountain biking.
