About Glacier Cyclery & Nordic
Glacier Cyclery & Nordic is Whitefish's premier year-round cycling and Nordic ski headquarters, voted one of America's Best Bike Shops for five consecutive years by the National Bicycle Dealers Association. The downtown shop at 326 2nd Street East sits just two blocks from the paved bike path system and roughly a mile from the Glacier Nordic Center, putting you within easy reach of the area's best trails regardless of the season. A team of professional mechanics with more than fifty years of combined experience backs every rental, repair, and purchase.
In summer, the shop fields a full fleet of road bikes, mountain bikes, and fat-tire bikes for exploring routes ranging from the Whitefish Trail's singletrack to the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. Winter transforms the store into the Flathead Valley's most dedicated Nordic outfitter, with classic and backcountry metal-edge ski rental packages available on a first-come, first-served basis — though calling ahead to reserve is recommended on busy weekends. Sales staff can walk you through wax selection, pole sizing, and technique tips, and a daily conditions report helps you choose between the groomed loops at the Nordic Center and backcountry options deeper in the valley.
Service work is a cornerstone of the business: bike tune-ups, wheel builds, suspension overhauls, and Nordic ski base grinding all happen in the on-site workshop, usually with a one-to-two-day turnaround during peak season. The shop also stocks accessories, apparel, and nutrition products geared toward endurance athletes who train year-round in the northern Rockies. For visitors who want cycling or cross-country skiing advice from people who genuinely live the lifestyle — not just sell the gear — Glacier Cyclery & Nordic is the definitive stop in Whitefish.
