Absolute Bikes is an award-winning full service bike shop located in the heart of historic downtown Salida, Colorado, in the “Old Feed Store.” Look for the tall metal grain tower along the Arkansas River. We have everything you need: the best selection of local trail maps, new bikes, rental bikes, guided rides, parts, and accessories.

Open 7 days a week all year and we always have mechanics on duty. We share our building with Season’s Cafe so all the essential pre- and post-ride necessities are right here: parking, bathrooms, coffee/beer/food – and we’re on the river for a refreshing swim after your ride.

Some of the best mountain biking in the state is right out the door on the Monarch Crest Trail, the Colorado Trail, the Rainbow Trail, not to mention the extensive Arkansas Hills trails that are rideable nearly all year and out our back door.
