Our Story
We believe biking is for everyone.
Bikes connect us to the outdoors, and deliver a feeling of freedom. Our mission is to make recreational, gravel, and mountain biking more accessible to everyone, so everyone can find The Line that’s right for them.
We’re breaking down the top barriers to experiencing the trails:
Rental bikes and gear to reduce equipment expense
Skills instruction area and personal bike set-up to build confidence and reduce risk
Guidance on the trails that are right for every skill level so you know where to ride.
Why The Line?
When you ride, you can take the easy line, the hard line, the technical line, the flow line; you can cross the line, take the bee line, draw a line, or step over the line. We're devoted to helping you Find YOUR Line™.
The Line was created to build on the amazing work of organizations like Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance, which championed building some of the best trails in the world -- right here in one of the most beautiful spots on earth: the PNW. Land access is only one part of the equation.
Access to equipment, risk perception, and knowing where to ride, all stand in the way of opening the sport to everyone. We're here to make that happen because we believe mountain biking, gravel biking, and recreational riding should be open to all.
It all begins with the love of bikes. Bikes are magical! They focus you, get you out of your head, challenge you, free you, bring you together, take you places, and capture your imagination.
Add trails to bikes and you have a whole new world of exploration, self-discovery, challenge and success, pride, and effort. We want to help the world experience that.
Too many people think trail biking is out of reach, too extreme, too expensive, too much work, too hard. We’re here to shift those perceptions.
We provide equipment, skills practice, and trail knowledge - including respectful recreation - to help every rider Make Good Decisions ® on and off the bike.
WHO WE ARE
Friends with a passion for helping people experience the great outdoors
Inclusivity Commitment
The Line was founded on the principle that everybody belongs on bikes.
We know cycling has a skewed portrayal in media which has made it less approachable for women and minorities. We’re here to welcome everyone into the sport, and helping each individual - regardless of their background, age, cultural identity, national origin, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or physical abilities – can enjoy the benefits of biking and experience more of our awesome public lands.
We have zero tolerance for harrassment, hate speech, derogatory comments, bullying, or discrimination. We require our staff, coaches, partners, customers, and class participants to abide by this policy.
Any women-specific programs and instruction are open to all individuals who identify as girls or women, without regard to their gender assigned at birth or past gender identities. We welcome trans women/girls, cis women/girls, and nonbinary individuals who feel comfortable participating in programs primarily consisting of individuals who identify as women/girls.
Our other programs are open to all individuals of all gender identities.
We value feedback and expertise on making our mountain biking, gravel, and mobility programs more accessible to all. If you need accomodation, please let us know in advance.
Everyone is welcome at The Line!
