Bikes By Bike

Bikes.  Eco-friendly, active, human powered, fun, the list goes on.  Wheel Wrangler’s mission is to get more people riding in Jackson Hole, sustainably.  Jackson boasts an amazing bike path system with 70 miles of connected pathway, and the city has numerous safe cycling routes.

A bike in the summer is most locals preferred method of transportation.  So how can Wheel Wranglers get more people riding than already are?  Well, with over a million annual visitors, and a plethora of outdoor activities in the summer, the answer became clear to us.  Many visitors skip cycling while in the area simply because there is too much to do!  Rafting, fishing, biking, hiking, climbing, horseback riding, visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park, and many others.  Sometimes folks just don’t think they have time to also fit in cycling.  But, if you think about it, many of these alternative activities to cycling could be accessed from a bike in Jackson Hole, or a bike ride could easily be squeezed in before or after other activities.  Anytime is ride time!  

To help make going for a ride easy, Wheel Wranglers offers delivery and pickup included at no extra cost with every bike rental.  This removes obstacles and logistics involved with riding while on vacation, and allows our clients to simply enjoy the amazing cycling infrastructure in Jackson Hole worry free.  With customized riding route information included with each rental through an app or a paper map, Wheel Wranglers shows you the fun stuff to do in Jackson Hole on and off the bike.

How do we move all our bikes around?  Well, we have a pickup truck, but driving it all the time would go against our mission!  So, whenever possible Wheel Wranglers delivers bikes, BY bike!  This helps us keep more cars off the road (including our own), reduces traffic, reduces pollution, creates less hazard for our wildlife, and most importantly for Wheel Wranglers staff, is more fun.  The Kona Ute and Electric Ute make it possible for us carry out this dream and deliver or pickup 1-4 bikes at a time through their amazing balanced ride quality, and thoughtful design.  The 2x drivetrain on the “analog” Ute keeps it possible to climb steep hills hauling bikes, and the Electric Ute comes in handy if we are short on time or have a real heavy load.  They both ride incredibly well even when loaded or hauling, and are always a blast to ride.  It is fun turning heads on the bike path too…. 

We have a Ute and an Electric Ute because they are both also available to rent!  We can configure them with kids seats and other fun cargo accessories for unique adventures.  If both our Utes are rented out, we use our Kona Splice-E, or a non electric Kona Dew to deliver, both of which also get the job done just fine: they just have less cargo space than the included (and massive) panniers that are part of the Ute carrying system. Excited to get bikes to you– by bike– this summer!
