Premium bikes and service for Palm Springs and Coachella Valley riders

The Coachella Valley has become a serious riding destination, with flat, fast valley miles, desert climbs and a winter season that brings riders in from all over. Many people who ride there split their year between the desert and the coast, and some already know us from Orange County.

We're about 100 road miles away, which is a long day. So we're upfront about it: we're the right call for a premium new bike, a custom build or a full professional fit, planned as one visit, and for service you can ship to us between visits.

Riding in the Coachella Valley

CV Link, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments' multi-use path, opened in November 2025. CVAG lists three open segments, including a West Valley section of about 19.6 miles from the Palm Springs Visitor Center to Cathedral City, with a 20 mph speed limit (CVAG: CV Link). Beyond the path, valley roads are flat and fast, and the mountain highways out of the valley are long climbs.

Desert heat is the big factor: summer riding means very early starts, and heat is hard on tires, sealant and batteries. Dust gets into drivetrains, so clean and lube more often.

Getting to the shop from Palm Springs

About 100.1 miles by road from Palm Springs City Hall (3200 E Tahquitz Canyon Way), roughly 2 hr 10 min to 2 hr 40 min off-peak (approx.; 81.0 mi as the crow flies). West on the I-10 through the San Gorgonio Pass, then SR-60 and the I-215 toward Riverside, and the SR-91 west into Orange County. The SR-55 south ends the freeway part at MacArthur Blvd; turn west to reach the shop. At over two hours, it's worth calling first.
