HOW THE FUN WORKS
Visitors and locals alike may reserve bikes online, on the phone, or in person at The Local Store. Upon check-in at the front desk of the store, staff will be available to recommend destinations, provide route maps, show customers how to use the bikes, and generally get users set up for a successful outing around Eau Claire. The store’s back garage, along Galloway Street, will be
come a seamless seasonal experience point for bike departure and returns. OUR FLEET OF EASY-TO-RIDE BIKES
We proudly offer Giant’s Momentum LaFree E+ bikes from our downtown friend, Shift Cyclery & Coffee Bar. They are a perfect introduction to the world of E-bikes with an easy-to-get-on and off step-through frame, a powerful battery and motor for five stages of pedal assist, and a comfortable design with cushy tires and seats for the smoothest ride. Created for recreational riders, it lets you cruise up hills and cover longer distances in less time, up to 65 miles on a single charge. The service will launch with six bikes available and will scale with demand. LAUNCHING MAY 1, 2023
