What are the most popular bikes in Reno? No big surprise, mountain, road and e-bikes bikes are the big sellers. But commuter bikes are not as popular as in other communities. Why? Because Reno and Sparks Nevada need more protected bike lanes. Right now, a commuter e-bike at the store is more than half off and so are many other bikes with as much as $6,000 off for the end-of year-sale. Those are just a few of the many topics we cover with 17-year Reno cycling veteran and technician Sean in episode 2 of the new Trek store in Reno.
