We rented two high end mountain bikes for two days. Both bikes were very well built-up and maintained. The reservation and pickup process was as seamless as possible. Bonus points to Jenni running the pickup process. Our car rack could not support the frame geometry of the new mountain bikes. Jenni loaned us her personal rack for two days to overcome the problem. This was over-the-top service that built instant loyalty. Thank you!

We rented gravel and mountain bikes from Ryan at Dirt Gypsy and had a GREAT time! The bikes are very high quality carbon bikes with high end components so the ride itself was great. We put the bikes through the paces on gravel, dirt and single track and they held up extremely well, especially the tubeless tires. Ryan provided us route suggestions, did multiple stem and other sizing adjustments before we got the bike and was generally extremely friendly and helpful.
We definitely recommend Dirt Gypsy and go back again!

I used Dirt Gypsy Adventures and we rode the Emigrant Trail. I rented a Giant Trance 2, which turned out to be a very comfortable bike for our ~14 mile round trip. My guide, Ryan, was incredibly helpful in making sure that i was comfortable and had a good experience. He was knowledgeable about the trail, local areas, things to watch out for, and teaching some more advanced techniques of single track trail riding. The scenery and views
