We’re a bike shop, a family and
a community of riders, helping folks in
La Crosse explore their passion for cycling.
Biking is more than transportation or exercise, it’s a lifestyle. With group rides and abundant trails in the La Crosse area there is no lack of entertainment or miles to conquer. Whether you need help with where to ride or are in need of a bike to pedal, we’re here to help.
All new bikes purchased at Smith’s include free annual Winter Tune-ups, for life.
And I thought they smelled bad on the outside…
The Tauntaun
Loved The Unicorn? Great, because now you can ride the winter version, The Tauntaun. Ride the 2-hour or the 4-hour option.
- The route will be marked (top groomed trails, clockwise)
- Start at the parking lot by the weather ball and head towards Imberm.
- Strava or it doesn’t count.
- When you hit 2 or 4 hours, you can finish your lap. No need to take off your toasty gloves to stop your Strava.
- Prizes? Maybe.
- Share photos and race reports. The funnier, the better.

Please walk or ride to these access points. If you are driving to the trails, please park at the parking lot at George’s Point, just beyond that gate on top of Grandad Bluff.

What is #GoByBike?
If this year has taught us anything, it’s that the fate of our world is linked to the actions of its inhabitants—and that we CAN come together for the greater good. Collective action makes a world of difference. So today, we’re asking you to join thousands of fellow riders in simple, meaningful climate action for the good of our people and planet.
Choose your bike for one or more trips each week and tag a photo of your ride with #GoByBike to inspire a cultural movement.
Open with Guidelines
Dear Cycling Family,
We are happy to inform you that we did not have a case of COVID-19 at the shop. All employees have tested negative. Thank you for your patience as we made sure our shop was safe for our customers and employees.
The shop will re-open tomorrow, July 1. For everyone’ s safety, we will follow COVID practices and enforce social distancing within the bike shop. When you come into the shop, we are requesting that you wait for a staff member to assist you before entering. We have marked boxes on the ground for your group to wait in until a staff member is available.
We will continue to require the use of hand sanitizer and we ask that you wear a mask to protect everyone else around you. If you choose not to wear a mask, we will ask you to stay in a socially distanced box near the entryway for the duration of your visit. We will do our best to help all customers as timely as possible.

Cleaning and Disinfecting
Our employees continue to clean and disinfect all shared surfaces hourly, including doors, handles, bikes, phones, keyboards, credit card terminals, etc. Employees are also washing their hands upon entering work and at regular intervals throughout the day, including after each bike repair and after handling cash.
Please use caution when entering the shop as we are mopping the floor several times a day and the sealed concrete can be slippery. Caution signs are being placed as a reminder.
Our infant/toddler play area is still removed and will not be available until further guidance is given. We cleaned all surfaces before storing it and will be re-cleaning everything when we put it back out.
