Between Two Wheels
Join us for a long overdue video update! We ask, “What’s up with the bike industry?” We talk about the brewery, the rehashing of designs, the Rocky Altitude vs Intense Tracer, and we look at High Pivot bikes. It’s been seven years since 'Between Two Wheels' started - we are the original bike show!

Local Trails & Maps
We’re bordered by the Cohutta Wilderness and are home to the northern part of the Pinhoti Trail and the epic Bear Creek and Mountaintown. Gilmer County is the Mountain Bike Capital of Georgia with over 50 trails and growing. We are not just a bike shop - we are part of a community of cyclists and stewards caring for our local trails. Every season here is a totally new riding experience.
The Backyard Bike Park
Hidden behind the shop is our Backyard Bike Park - 5 acres of fun on the Ellijay River. We have a mix of features ranging from easy to challenging. The Bike Park will continue to evolve because we have a ludicrous amount of ideas! One of the objectives of our bike park (besides having a good time) is to offer a training ground for riders to improve handling skills that translate onto the trails.
Just some of our reviews…
We were riding an ITT of the TNGA when my rear hub came undone! Called the shop on a prayer, Dondi troubleshooted issues over the phone and Ben drove out to meet us for an infield repair. It was too far gone for that, so he took us back to the shop and swapped rear wheels while we had burritos for lunch. AMAZING guys with an undeniable love for what they do and the riders/community they support. Easily the best, above-and-beyond bike shop I’ve ever gone to. THANKS for saving our ride!!

Being new in a small town I was a little anxious about going into the local bike shop. But these guys were incredibly kind and knowledgeable on their products and especially on local trails. I ended up getting fixed up with a new bike and will be providing them with plenty of business. I could not recommended them enough to anyone here or passing through.
— Seth T.
These guys are the best! I was in town for a few days and my bike fell off a bike rack. It had some damage and they fixed it within an hour so I could get out on the trail. They were really nice and knowledgeable, and have great inventory. Super cool place and people!

Super nice dudes who helped my wife and I plan a day trip into Mulberry Gap. We travel a lot for riding and try to visit all the local bike shops we can. Some are more welcoming than others, and these guys are the helpful kind. If you find yourself in town, swing by and grab a few things. It's important to support these shops.
— Ben H.
Always nice and professional. Very knowledgeable mechanics. They also have the best selection of mountain bikes in Georgia. I had a bolt snap on my bike and TJ gave me his, off of his bike, which is the same model, so I didn't have to wait to ride. Awesome! They like beer too. Hee.

We actually met Dondi on the Bear Creek Trail while biking! He was super friendly and gave us directions to make sure we had a good ride. We had to stop into the bike store while we were in town and it’s awesome. They have a five acre biking trail behind the shop that’s free to test ride their bikes! It’s a great set up, and we are so excited for them to start serving beer too. The owner was friendly enough to show us the whole set up of their beer making process and was very down to earth. We can’t wait to come back to Ellijay and see this spot grow!

Best bike shop around - great guys, lots of knowledge, good service - what more could you ask for? It's been several years since I made my first review, and in my opinion, these guys only get better and better with each passing year. And now they are brewing BEER!
— T.K.
Very helpful, rented an awesome electric bike. Staff super friendly and recommended different local spots to ride. Bike was perfect!
— Mauricio P.
Great prices, good chat with the staff, quick service, but most of all, the bike track out the back will bring us back to Ellijay for sure!
