A few months ago Salsa brought us on as a new dealer. We managed to get some bicycles in just as the last available models were selling out. Being that we’ve been busy and haven’t put the word out, we still have some Salsa cycles around. In case you haven’t heard, bicycling has become a…
The following statement was published in November of 2020. However, now (November 2022) we’ve gone through more learning and change where we are taking a deeper look at our commitment to DEI. Please see our updated DEI Statement. For transparency we will be leaving up this original Statement of Accountability. You may have noticed that…
This has been a strange time to publish marketing content for Campfire Cycling. As a business we’ve been blessed by a strong surge of e-commerce orders since Coronavirus began. We’ve been so busy in fact that we’ve had no time to invest in continuing to create content and stoke the fire. And while we’ve been…
Our Take on the State of the World The rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic has caught all of us by surprise and is forcing all of us to rethink so much. Many of us will suffer either directly from the impacts of the virus, economically or some other way. Amidst the doom and gloom, it’s important…

On December 7th, Kait Boyle visited our shop to share her remarkable story as part of a fundraiser for the Cairn Project. Her triumphant 2018 of bicycle racing was dramatically curtailed by an accident on Christmas Eve. Over the course of 2019 she endured a grueling rehabilitation however was able to fully recover and has…
The Following was Boiled Down from the Video: Howdy bike campers! I’m Josh with Campfire Cycling. I’m out on a overnighter bikepacking trip out near Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge. I brought with me the most commonly used styles of lightweight camping stoves that you would commonly use while bikepacking. Hopefully I can help get…
On November 15th we kicked off the Campfire Cycling showroom and repair center in grand style by hosting a screening of I Just Want to Ride with Lael Wilcox, Rue Kaladyte and Chris Seistrup. We had over 200 folks show up and had a blockbuster of a party. For a business used to selling through…
In April we launched the Campfire Cycling brand and website. But now we’re gearing up to launch the heart of our new enterprise, the Campfire Cycling Showroom. And we’re doing it in style by screening the new film about the 2019 Tour Divide Race, I Just Want to Ride. We’ve been hard at work for…

Oveja Negra, Hyperlite & SOL, Adventure Medical Kits. We’ve also refreshed our lineup of Brooks and Carradice. Overall our Pack…

There are so many inherently good things about bicycle camping – from fostering a healthy lifestyle, to practicing sustainable transportation, to experiencing new landscapes and cultures. I’m inspired to inspire you to consider getting out there for some bicycle camping adventures. I’ve laid out the incremental steps one might take on…
Last weekend our family successfully embarked on our first bicycle campout. This campout was very meaningful to us because of what it meant for our family and for our business with the upcoming launch of CampfireCycling.com. As I’ve been preparing for the major directional shift to a bicycle camping focused business, a major dilemma has…

As we’re building the showroom we’re thinking about how to develop synergy between Ecommerce and brick-and-mortar. Our showroom will be a physical manifestation of our online presence. And conversely our…

Come late April, we’ll be striking a match to set ablaze our rebranding to CampfireCycling.com! I’m inviting all of you to the campfire to gaze into the flames with us. In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing with you why we’re rebranding, what…
We are utility cyclists. We are pathfinders. We see more from the seat a bike. Part of the pleasure of riding in an urban environment is that the terrain, the “bikescape,” is always shifting. For a season a road, a sidewalk, or a building will be under construction, and the traffic pattern will be altered….
Fall is here and the days are getting shorter. Gone are the long, sun-filled evenings of summer. At the same time our kids are back in school, and it’s harder to find time to ride. If you’re like our family, you’re still trying to squeeze in some after-school, after-work evening rides. We did one of…
It seems like years ago that I mentioned how much I like the products from Duluth Trading Company. Wait a minute … it was years ago: Doctor’s Orders: Ride Naked! As I said in that ancient article, Duluth makes stuff for real working people, which means they’re very familiar with clothes which will help to…
“All real cyclists ride clipless pedals.” “No real cyclists use platform (“flat”) pedals.” That’s what you’d think, anyway, from reading many biking websites and magazines. They’ll tell you, in not so many words, that you’re not “serious” about biking if you’re not walking around in clunky plastic shoes and clicking on linoleum like a castanet….
Croozer Trailers – 40% Off!!! I know it sounds to good to be true. Let me explain… This is not an ordinary sale. We’re offering this amazing line of German designed trailers at what is effectively our wholesale/dealer pricing while supplies last. I should explain how things evolved as I know the price probably sounds to good to be…
Yesterday we pulled into our driveway after a year on the road. Over twelve months, we visited more than 50 biking destinations around North America. Our route took us to the flowy trails of Copper Harbor, MI, the jungles of Ocala, FL, the paved paths of Bend, OR, and the bike park in Whistler, BC….
