Fall is our favorite season to ride, and boy, have we been getting some great weather! With Halloween just around the corner, the mornings and evenings are turning chilly, but that’s no reason to stay off the bike. We have fall riding clothing and accessories in stock to keep you comfortable out there. If you’re ready for a new ride, our best bike deals of the year are happening right now, including a few former rental bikes.
In this month’s edition, we’re launching pickup and delivery for service and kicking off our annual Holiday Bike Drive, along with plenty of other good news from the shop and around town.

🛠 Shop Updates
Let Us Handle the Bike Hauling!
From November 1 through December 31, we’re offering pickup and delivery for bikes coming in for tune-ups and service (including e-bikes)! This service is available for all of Sisters area and Black Butte Ranch.
Two or more bikes get FREE pickup and delivery.
One bike with a tune-up gets pickup and delivery for $20.
Do you have vacation rental bikes that need some attention? Would you rather skip loading and hauling your bikes yourself? Let us take care of it!
Call 541-719-1213 for more information or to schedule your pickup.
Fall Service: No Appointment Needed!
As the weather starts to turn, it’s a great time to give your bike some attention. This time of year, our typical repair turnaround is about 48 hours from drop-off, as long as we don’t need to order parts or take on a more involved repair.
New Limited-Edition Blazin Saddles Kit
We’re going back to our roots! Our new black-and-white kit pays tribute to the original Blazin Saddles kit from 2010 with a fresh mountain design. It’s made in Castelli’s Espresso collection, so you get the quality and fit Castelli is known for.
We only have a few in each size, so stop in while yours is still here. And remember, Christmas isn’t that far away. 😉
Even Bigger Wheels: Meet the Salsa Fargo 32
We just built our first bike with 32-inch wheels, the new Salsa Fargo 32! This gravel and bikepacking rig brings a whole new feel to rolling momentum and riding over rough terrain, and we couldn’t wait to see what these big wheels are all about. Salsa designed it to fit riders as short as 5’2”, so the big wheels aren’t just for tall folks.
Curious? Come in, talk bikes with us, and take it for a spin!
Keep the Miles Going with Wahoo
When it gets really cold, you can keep riding from the comfort of home! Wahoo smart trainers pair with compatible cycling apps, so you can ride with friends and set goals that carry your fitness through winter.
We’re a proud Wahoo dealer, and we offer the same price as online with the added benefit of local help. We’ll assemble your setup and show you how to connect your bike so you’re rolling right away. Explore Wahoo’s indoor cycling options or stop in to find the right setup for you!

🌊 The Crew Hits the Coast
A good portion of our team recently stepped away from the shop for a couple of days to ride bikes and cut loose. We rode the amazing trails at Buzzard Butte near Pacific City, then mixed in some beach time and golf for the ultimate getaway.
After our busiest summer ever, it was a well-deserved chance to recharge and enjoy time together. Thank you to our community and supporters for making this summer such a big one!
🎪 Bike Valet Keeps Growing at Sisters Folk Festival
More than 10 years ago, we teamed up with Sisters Folk Festival to offer a free bike valet. It gives festivalgoers a safe, attended place to leave their bikes while they enjoy the music and move between venues, and our attendants park and retrieve your bike for you.
Since then, we’ve kept building racks and expanding the space at our two locations, and you keep filling them! This year we had around 150 bikes at each location during busy times, with more than 150 at Oliver Lemon’s. Imagine several hundred additional cars competing for parking instead of people riding between venues!
Thank you to everyone who volunteered or parked with us, and to Sisters Folk Festival for the continued partnership. Together, we’re making biking a bigger part of the festival and helping keep the event sustainable.
🎁 Help Put Someone on a Bike This Holiday Season
Our annual Blazin Saddles Holiday Bike Drive is coming up! Each year, community members donate bicycles, and our team fully cleans and tunes them, replacing parts as needed, before getting them into the hands of people who could use them.
We work with the Sisters School District, Habitat for Humanity, Sisters Fire Department, Family Access Network, Sisters Cold Weather Shelter, and community members to receive nominations. The program serves kids who might otherwise go without a gift and adults who need reliable transportation.
Thanks to our amazing community, we’ve donated more than 500 bikes over the past 12 years!
We’ll accept donated bikes from November 15 through December 15. Requests are due by December 15, and we’ll distribute bikes December 18 through 20.
If you or someone you know would benefit from a bicycle, email info@blazinsaddleshub.com with the recipient’s age, gender, and height. We keep all information confidential and will do our best to fill every request. Requests are filled on a first-come, first-served basis depending on bike availability, so please reach out early. Everyone who requests a bike will hear from us by December 15 about whether we have one available for them.
Thank you for helping us share the power of bikes with our community!
📺 Must Watch: The 32-Inch Bike Debate
Still wondering what all the 32-inch fuss is about? The crew from Velo took the Salsa Fargo 32 into the woods of Squamish, British Columbia, and came back with plenty to say about how these giant wheels actually handle on the trail. In this episode they also dig into a fun debate about whether marketing or engineering is really driving bike design these days. The Fargo 32 conversation starts right at the one-hour mark, so jump ahead if you’re short on time. Give it a listen, then come take our Fargo 32 for a spin!
Thanks for rolling through this month’s Roundup! We hope you’re soaking up these crisp fall days on the trail, and we hope you’ll keep the Holiday Bike Drive in mind as you clean out the garage this season. If something sparked a question, or you’ve got a photo or story to share, hit reply or give us a call. We love hearing from you.
Have a happy and safe Halloween, and we’ll see you in the shop and out on the trails!
Ride on,
The Blazin Saddles Crew
