ByStickel is located in the heart of Pisgah National Forest's best riding. The Asheville, NC area of the Southern Blue Ridge mountains is the Southeast's premier riding destination. We have access to the most varied riding in the region. One side of the valley is slippery, rooty, rocky, and steep, and the other has slickrock and fast, rolling trail. Yes, slickrock. On the road front, there are long, flat-to-rolling valley pulls and Category 2 climbs. This area is a perfect testing ground for new designs.

And if you're contemplating a new ByStickel, that's just another reason to plan a trip out to sample Pisgah's best riding.

Not only that, but it's also 2009 - Beer City USA. And if you needed any more reason, Asheville also has a nice bicycle industry, with Industry Nine, Cane Creek Cycling Components, Morewood USA, and Endless Bike Co.; along with a bunch of mad-scientist types. It's just a great place for bikes.
