Our Story
Cycling, a Sense of Freedom
Jim Barnes and his wife, Melinda, have owned and operated Big Sky Cycling since 1986. Jim was only 5 years old the first time he plopped down on the saddle of a bike. But he’s been hooked ever since. With more than 45 years of experience in the industry, he is Helena’s local expert on all things bicycle related.
Jim built a team at Big Sky Cycling, where our passion for riding is second only to our love for the community of cyclists we serve. In fact, we have been named one of America’s Best Bike Shops numerous years by the National Bicycle Dealers Association.
We value our customers and we pass along that value to you through carefully chosen products that provide long-term satisfaction. Why waste your valuable time researching, ordering, and returning the wrong products? From the beginning, our experts will equip you with the right tools for your adventure.
We understand that you have many options to fill your bicycling needs. Our goal is to serve as your bike shop that fulfills those needs, plus a little extra. Whether you want to get back into biking for transportation or exercise, or you’re ready to try mountain biking for the first time, we will guide you along the way. From beginner to professional, from the young to the “young at heart,” we offer not only products, but knowledge-of, and support-for the sport we love! Our aspiration is to provide excellent customer service, quality merchandise, and extensive knowledge to everyone who walks through our door.
Big Sky Cycling is your best resource for hitting the trails, carving the ice, and maximizing your adventures! We look forward to passing on our passion for riding to you.
