If you're a cyclist in Northwest Arkansas, you're living in one of the best bike regions in the country. Bentonville has become a global mountain biking destination, with hundreds of miles of trails, bike-focused infrastructure, and a cycling culture that rivals much larger outdoor recreation hubs.
Bentonville's cycling scene and coffee scene are tightly linked. Many riders finish a morning ride at Coler, Slaughter Pen, or the Greenway and head directly to a local coffee shop. That outdoor-adventure-meets-coffee culture is a huge part of what makes Northwest Arkansas unique.
Since I’m a mountain biker myself, cycling means trail mishaps leading to maintenance, repairs and tuneups. Here is a list of LBS’s in the area. Bentonville Bicycle, Highroller Cyclery, Lewis & Clark Outfitters, Phat Tire Bike Shop, Bike Shop Joe’s, Bison Bikes, Gearhead Outfitters, and Mojo Cycling.
Happy riding.
