Find Yourself in an adventure. Find Yourself! Welcome to Life Cycle! We chose the heart of Minnesota’s bicycling community with the Paul Bunyan trail, extensive mountain bike trails, and countless scenic byways as the best home for our bike shop. Riding leads to discovery

Around here, the area’s natural beauty shows up everywhere–from sunrises and sunsets to wildlife and clear waters. Riding a bi

cycle is a great way to discover it for yourself. New bike, new you - Taking your new bicycle out of the bike shop for the first time is unforgettable. You’re eager to ride with the sun on your face every turn of the pedals propelling you up the mountain bike trail to your favorite scenic overlook. But we understand that, just like every bicycling experience, no two people are alike. Everyone brings different desires to their bike ride. Not everyone wants a mountain bike. Some riders embrace the simplicity of a single-speed cruiser or the comfortable recline of a recumbent bike. There is more than one trail—and more than one kind of bicycle—that can set you free to explore. We believe - in helping riders of all ages discover their own “road less traveled” and the serenity that comes from losing yourself in nature on a bicycle. Let us help you rediscover the wonder of being a child on wheels for the first time—a tinge of the unknown, flavored with excitement, and the sheer love of adventure. Come and find yourself here—within our Life Cycle bicycling family.
