Awesome service, bikes, and guides. Spent a day out with Bill on a gravel bike and saw some epic spots in Bend! They were responsive and fair when we encountered a problem with one of our bikes and they went out of their way to help us out. Much appreciated. Can’t wait to come back to Bend and will definitely return to Cog Wild!!!!!

This was our first time in Bend and exploring the trails was priority. Right from the get-go, the team at Cog Wild was amazing. As a group of six people with mixed skill levels and ages (13 to 56), it might have been hard for a rental company to meet everyone’s needs but the Cog Wild team was friendly and professional when assessing each rider and easily got each of us matched up with a bike that felt right.

Our guides, Bill and Cayden, were excellent about talking through trail options that would be fun for everyone. They frequently pointed out paths that had a harder and easier options so that people could chose their own adventures and meet up again. They also provided enough tips and coaching to help everyone get through some of the trickier sections without making anyone feeling pushed beyond their limits. I especially appreciated the coaching my 13 y/o son received along the way. He was, initially, a little hesitant about whether or not he could keep up with the group. About half way through the ride, Bill had him racing along and feeling confident! By the end of our ride, we had covered 12 miles of super fun trails!

I highly recommend Cog Wild!

We did a private skills lesson with Bill and it was fantastic. My fiance and I have different skill levels and Bill did a great job making sure we both had instructions and tips we could focus on to improve. We started on their skills course which allowed us to learn how to roll/jump improve bike posture and control then we were shuttled to a trail where lessons continued. Bill balanced riding in front so we could copy him as well as riding behind us so he could watch and give improvement recommendations. He was patient and showed a passion for bicycling and teaching. We definitely recommend this company and would use again.
