Mike and his team have built something genuinely special in Leadville. Whether you're renting fat-tire e-bikes for the Mineral Belt Trail, joining one of their guided tours through historic mining sites, or catching a ghost tour with Joan, the operation runs with remarkable care and attention. Reviewers consistently praise Mike's patience with first-timers, his deep knowledge of local history, and his willingness to go well beyond what's expected, including house calls, on-the-spot repairs, and even driving to New Mexico to source a bike for a customer. The guided tours seem to be a particular highlight, with well-marked routes, thoughtful pacing, and enough local storytelling to make even longtime locals discover something new. The bikes themselves get strong marks for quality and condition, and the logistics feel smooth and stress-free from start to finish. If you're visiting the Leadville area and looking for a memorable way to explore, this crew consistently delivers.
We took the Soiled Doves Walking Tour in August 2026 for a 7 pm tour. Mike was a fantastic guide, sharing lots of historic information and bringing the past to life. We checked ahead of time, and the tour group size and route made it dog friendly. The park to meet at didn’t appear in Maps, but it was very close to the bike shop and should have been obvious to me. *facepalm* Highly recommend!
