## Resource

Passion, perseverance and a genuine heart for people drive this locally owned bike shop in the downtown Ivywild neighborhood. It’s the only veteran owned bike shop in Colorado Springs. Todd Hood, a retired, 20-year Army combat veteran has owned the shop since 2013 and when you come to his shop you feel like family. You can even sit at the bar over a Bristol beer and watch their top-notch and friendly mechanics work on your bike. It’s also home to Carl the Cat and he even has his own branded merch. While they sell and service a variety of bikes and cater to all types of cyclists from hardcore mountain bikers to families, they’re primarily a mountain bike shop carrying brands including Yeti Cycles, Specialized, Norco and Intense. This winter they’re also getting into ski bike & board rentals and sales.
