Desert Sports Mountain Bikes

Big Bend's mountain bike headquarters, renting from a funky 1970s adobe.

Why we picked itThe Big Bend bike shop locals trust, with trail advice included.

Desert Sports has been around since the late 1980s and was incorporated in 1996 by a former Big Bend National Park superintendent and a longtime river guide. Today artist and musician Crystal Allbright runs it.

Each rental comes with a helmet, pump and spare tube, and the staff will point you to trails. In summer heat they rent fewer bikes, so call ahead.
