New Transition Video – Across the Bay

Transition Bikes have just dropped a new video “Across the Bay” with Kevin and Kyle.

When the trails in Bellingham are covered in snow what better idea than to travel across the bay to Orcas Island for some fun times riding the hero loam!

Transition Bikes are fortunate to call Bellingham, WA home. Surrounded by amazing trails, in a climate mild enough for riding almost the entire year. But last year, winter had a strong grip on the landscape, locking up all the trails with snow and ice. So last February they called their good friend Matt with Targa Boats, and lined up a trip across the bay, to a magical little spot known as Orcas Island.

After the quick boat ride, riding started right from the dock to ascend Mt. Constitution.

The top of Mt. Constitution offers a stunning view of Mt. Baker and the Bellingham area.

Running a bike company is a full-time job, plus a little more. Days like this are a perfect reminder to Kevin and Kyle of where it all started, and why they work so hard to make a company based around riding.

The Sentinel is the perfect bike for outings like this when you never know what you’re gonna get. An all-day epic pedal, serious chunky terrain, or a quick jump session, the Sentinel does it all.
