Whether you're a 100-miler or saving gas with a back-pedal brake bike, Woodstock is the place for cyclists. The quiet back roads along our meandering rivers and brooks make the journey the event. Woodstock's mercantile district boasts two exceptional retailers specializing in cycling equipment and one of the region's most reputable tour companies: Bike Vermont.
If you're looking for a tour for the novice or experienced cyclist, contact the affable staff of Bike Vermont celebrating their thirtieth year serving the public with Inn-to-Inn bike tours featuring Vermont, Maine, Ireland and Scotland. Not a week goes by during the season that you won't see their groups relaxing on the Green in the center of town or riding through to their next destination.
Maybe you're on your own with a bike that needs fixing or you're looking to spruce up your own wardrobe with the latest in clothing for cyclists. Stop in Woodstock Sports and Fine Clothing on Central Street just past the post office. If you want to rent bikes, they can help you. Or visit the newest store in town, The Start House for a wide variety of road, mountain and racing equipment for avid cyclists.
