Zaitz Park
Mike stands out in nearly every review as someone who goes genuinely above and beyond. Customers rave about him delivering bikes directly to hotels and homes, driving hours to pick up out-of-stock models from other dealers, and even providing free service on bikes purchased elsewhere. His knowledge of Leadville's mining history adds real depth to the guided tours, whether you're exploring the paved Mineral Belt Trail or venturing to more remote mine sites and mountain lakes. The flexibility here is remarkable: they accommodate physical handicaps, arrange delivery and pickup, and cater to complete beginners who haven't ridden in years. The bikes themselves are consistently described as well-maintained and high-quality, including adaptive options like e-trikes for those with balance issues. Both rentals and guided tours get enthusiastic feedback, with guides Dean and Mike creating memorable experiences through their storytelling and local expertise. The combination of patient instruction, competitive pricing, and willingness to meet customers where they are makes this a standout option in Leadville for anyone considering an e-bike adventure.
Great ghost tour! I’ve lived in Leadville for 30 years and have studied the history, and still learned so much on this tour. Leadville has such a great colorful history, the tour helped bring it to life.
