About Gerick Cycle & Ski
Gerick Cycle & Ski has been outfitting Nelson cyclists and skiers from its Baker Street storefront for generations, making it one of the longest-standing sports shops in the West Kootenays. It carries a broad range of road bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes and winter gear, and is a hub for the local riding community.
For visitors, the rental counter is the draw: mountain bikes and electric bikes for tackling Nelson's celebrated singletrack and valley rail trails, and cross-country ski equipment when the snow arrives. Knowledgeable mechanics keep the fleet tuned, and staff hand out trail maps and local route advice so riders can head straight to the terrain that suits them.
Gerick also helps organise weekly group rides and stays plugged into the area's cycling calendar, giving travellers an easy way to connect with locals and discover the best trails. Its longevity and deep community roots make it a trusted, no-nonsense choice for gearing up in Nelson.
