What a Great Year at 303 Bike Shop — And We’re Not Done Yet

What a year it’s been here at 303 Bike Shop.

First off, we want to say thank you to everyone who came through the shop this year. Whether you bought a bike, had us work on one, stopped in to talk bikes, or just came by to see what was new, we appreciate you supporting a local Colorado bike shop.

And around here, the end of summer definitely doesn’t mean the end of riding.

Gravel Is Still Going Strong

If there’s one thing we’ve learned this year, it’s that Colorado loves gravel bikes.

They’re still selling like crazy, and honestly, we understand why. A good gravel bike might be one of the most versatile bikes you can own in Colorado. Ride pavement through town, turn onto a dirt road, hit a gravel trail, or load it up and disappear for the day.

We’ve continued expanding our gravel selection, and we’ll keep bringing in bikes that make sense for the way people actually ride around Denver and the Colorado Front Range.

Winter Is Coming — Which Means Fat Bikes

The temperature is starting to drop, the days are getting shorter, and before long we’ll be seeing snow.

That means fat bikes are about to start rolling into 303 Bike Shop.

If you’ve never ridden a fat bike in the snow, you’re missing out. There’s something pretty great about looking outside after a snowstorm and realizing that instead of putting the bike away, you suddenly have a whole different kind of riding available.

We’ll have fat bikes coming in as we head toward winter, so stop by and see what’s arriving.

And Of Course… Riley Is Ready to See You

If you’ve been into 303 Bike Shop, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve met Riley, our shop dog.

Riley is ready for another winter of greeting customers, keeping an eye on the shop, and making sure nobody gets out of here without saying hello.

He’s also looking forward to cooler weather because that means more hikes at Lair o’ the Bear, right near our house. It’s one of his favorite places to get outside, wander the trails, sniff everything imaginable, and remind us that sometimes the best thing you can do is just get outside.

That’s really what bikes are about for us, too.  


Bikes Aren’t Just a Summer Thing

We don't believe riding season has to end when summer does.

Gravel bikes, fat bikes, commuters, mountain bikes — there are plenty of ways to keep riding when the weather changes. Sometimes you just need the right bike, the right tires, and a willingness to get a little dirty.

So as we wrap up a great summer and head toward winter, thank you again for making this such a great year at 303 Bike Shop.

We have more bikes coming, more things planned, and plenty more riding ahead.

And Riley will be here waiting for you.

303 Bike Shop
Local bikes. Local people. Colorado riding.

Come see us and see what’s rolling into the shop for fall and winter.

  X-LAB Bikes Have Arrived at 303 Bike Shop A New Bike Brand for Colorado Riders — and One We’re Pretty Excited About Every once in a while, a new bike line comes along that gets our attention. For us, X-LAB is one of those brands. We recently added X-LAB Bicycles to the lineup at 303 Bike Shop in Wheat Ridge , and our first bikes are starting to arrive. What caught our attention wasn't simply another new name in the bicycle business. It was what X-LAB is putting into these bikes for the money. At a time when nearly everything seems to be getting more expensive, X-LAB is taking a different approach: build a genuinely good bicycle, equip it properly, and keep the price within reach of regular riders. That's something we can get behind. So, Who Is X-LAB? X-LAB is the performance bicycle brand from XDS, a large, established bicycle manufacturer. The current U.S. lineup stretches from the $799 SP3 city/fitness bike through the RS5 and RS7 road platforms and up to the car...

  It's hard to believe we're already heading into winter here in Colorado. Seems like we were just getting ready for spring riding, and now we're building Surly Ice Cream Trucks and getting excited about fat bike season! We've always loved the Surly Ice Cream Truck. It's one of those bikes that reminds you why riding is supposed to be fun. Big tires, snow, dirt, and just about anything else you want to roll over. We're building them up now, so if you've been thinking about getting into fat biking, stop by and check them out. X-Lab Bikes Are Flying Out the Door! One of the biggest surprises this year has been just how popular our X-Lab bicycles have become. These bikes are amazing, and frankly, they're getting harder and harder to keep in stock. The quality, components, and value are tough to beat, and customers are catching on. And here's something we're especially excited about: We have the hard-to-find X-Lab GT8 gravel bikes in small, medium,...
