About Bear Valley Bikes
Bear Valley Bikes is Big Bear Lake's dedicated cycling shop, located at 40298 Big Bear Boulevard just west of the Village and past the Alpine Slide. Unlike the multi-sport generalists along the strip, Bear Valley focuses exclusively on bikes — and that single-minded approach shows in the depth of their rental fleet, workshop expertise, and trail knowledge.
The shop carries a curated selection of mountain bikes and e-bikes for rent, from hardtails suited to the paved Alpine Pedal Path to full-suspension rigs built for singletrack in the San Bernardino National Forest. Every rental comes with a helmet, and the mechanics can dial in suspension settings and saddle height before you roll out. Full-service tune-ups, flat repairs, and parts sourcing are available for riders who bring their own bikes up the mountain.
Bear Valley's staff are year-round locals who ride the trail network weekly, so they can give honest route recommendations based on current conditions — whether that's the flowy Hanna Flats loop, the technical Pine Knot descent, or a mellow lakeside cruise. The shop operates on a slightly condensed schedule mid-week with expanded hours Friday and Saturday, so it's worth checking their calendar or calling ahead during shoulder seasons.
