TORC’s Harris Lake Bike Demo Day brought local bike shops and riders together to explore different brands and learn about both traditional, pedal-powered mountain bikes and electric-assist mountain bikes. Riders had the opportunity to talk with shop teams about bike fit, features, and options suited to their riding. REI provided giveaways for attendee raffles. The Bicycle Chain and River Mill Cycles brought fleets of bikes to demo, and Bell Lap Cycleworks offered bike-fit analysis. Trek also brought a demo fleet and hosted an 11:30 a.m. group ride after the demo event. Our goal was to help more people discover off-road biking, connect riders with the businesses supporting our riding community, and provide a welcoming place to compare bikes and ask questions. Thank you to the participating shops, our park partners at Harris Lake, and everyone who joined in!
