It’s official. Our favorite time of year is coming to a close. 

Before the season starts to change, the warm weather cools down, and days get shorter, making the most of these last summer days is top priority!

Since we want you to get outside and experience all that nature has to offer, we came up with an end of summer bucket list with some activities you may have not considered before to get the good times rolling and the memory-making underway.

1. Find a new picnicking spot

If you and your friends love spending the day at the park, grab your ride of choice, and go!

Depending on the terrain of the park, you’ll want to consider a variety of different transportation before embarking on your adventure.

We highly recommend hybrid bikes like Atlas or Barron for unpredictable, on and off-road parks. It’s so fun to be able to get off the beaten path whenever you want and find a new spot to stop and chill.

Beaumont is the perfect bike for parks with paved roads. This comfortable, upright city bike comes with the option for a step-through frame for easy on and off, making it ideal for cruising through the park and stopping to enjoy the scenery. With a built-in rear rack, picnicking is a breeze—simply attach a picnic basket or any kind of cargo and go!

2. Experience a new trail

Switch up the usual route and find a new trail to trek. Discover new sounds, scents, and sceneries as a magical way to close out the summer.

If you’re interested in mountain biking but never gave it a go, the summer is the perfect time to do just that. Our mountain bike, Ascent is designed to build confidence on the trails. 

With a lightweight aluminum frame, 21 gear options to tackle every uphill and downhill, wide, tractioned tires, and a 100mm travel suspension fork, you’ll be able to conquer any trail you choose.

If you’d prefer walking instead, make sure you’re equipped with all the best trail and hiking gear. Stay prepared with good hiking boots, an insulated water bottle like Alder to keep your beverage cold for up to 24 hours in hot weather, and trekking poles to handle anything the trail might throw at you. 

Our Solstice Aluminum Trekking Poles are perfect for uncharted new trails. Their adjustable, lightweight shafts, and options for cork or foam grips and various end attachments make them versatile and ready for all kinds of action.

3. Sightsee your city

Take advantage of longer days while they’re still here and roll around your city. Sometimes exploring your city on two wheels is all that’s necessary to see it in a new perspective.

Our minimalistic city bikes like Kinney and Harper are great options for bee-lining across the metropolis, hitting up your local farmer’s markets,cafés and ice cream shops, and exploring all the nooks and crannies you can’t reach by car.

Harper is streamlined for utility with its lightweight steel frame, option for riding single speed or freewheel with an included flip flop hub, and optimized commuter tires.

Kinney is another solid choice for city sightseeing as it sports a durable steel frame, a versatile, seven speed drivetrain to help you take on inclines and declines with ease, smooth-rolling commuter tires, and swept-back handlebars to support a comfortable, upright riding position.

For a more easygoing cruise, Beaumont is the ultimate choice. Inspired by vintage European city bikes, Beaumont is designed to carry its rider from one destination to another with ease, comfort and style. 

Crafted to commute and run errands, this city bike comes equipped with an optional step-through frame for easy on and offs, full wrap fenders to ride rain or shine, and a rear rack to haul all the essentials.

4. Cruise beachside

Rolling around the coast is officially our favorite way to make the most of those last summer days. 

Valen Rev is our fat tire e-bike and your new go-to for seaside riding. Valen Rev can handle all sorts of terrains and easily rolls over any sand that might have blown onto the path.

What makes this e-bike so special is that its design is influenced by the popular minibikes of the 60s and 70s. Built for utility and speed, Valen Rev nods to its predecessor with its 55-mile battery range, fat 20 x 4.0” tires, top speed of 20 mph, Start Aid technology, and six pedal assist levels, to carry out all your renegade, moto-style venturings.

Chatham is another great option for chill, seaside cruising. This classic beach cruiser is the dreamiest summer memories bike with its stylishly retro frame, swept back handlebars, cushy, wide saddle, and comfortable upright sitting position so that you can pedal til sunset.

5. Explore the off-road

The wilderness is waiting for you. Discover your backyard in a way you’ve never done before this summer and hop on Koa Rev to tackle all off-road territories. 

This down-for-anything ride comes with fat, grippy 26 x 4.0 tires and an 80 mm suspension fork to smoothly absorb shock from any terrain you decide to ride, a 46 mile battery range, a top 20 mph speed, and six pedal assist levels to conquer with ease.

6. Live it up on the lake

The last of summer calls for lake days. The best way to thoroughly enjoy a day out on the water? Float. Our Weekender collection will help you go with the flow as the summer starts to simmer down.

Inflate and set out on our best-selling Weekender iSUP.
