The Bike Peddler

Thank you to everyone who took on the Pedal to Minto Challenge this summer! You guys really showed up 🥹 We’ll draw a winner tomorrow and reach out to them privately to coordinate prize pick-up 🏆 Thanks again!

This is the last week to throw your hat in the ring for the Pedal to Minto Challenge. The raffle closes at the end of the day Sunday, August 18!

You can read all about the challenge at the links in our bio. And psst… it’s not *that* challenging! Minto is a short-ish and lovely bike ride from downtown Salem. I made the round trip in just about an hour last week. Can’t think of a better way to enjoy one of the last weekends of summer! 🌱🌞🚲

Good news! We decided to extend the Pedal to Minto Challenge, so you now have two extra weeks to get your butt (and your bike) out to the farm! All challenge info and route ideas are linked in our bio. Comment or DM if you have any questions ☺️🌱🍕

The Salem Descenders mountain bike team had their first practice of the season this week! If you want to support the Salem Composite Mountain Bike Team magic this year, you can donate to the team fund (linked below). Or, treat yourself to some mercy for the Descenders Super Fan Store. There's some sweet stuff in there (Descenders dog bandana anyone?!) 🐶🧡
