A while back, Robby and I were on separate trips, me in New Hampshire for a conference, him in Boise for a wedding. Each of us had one precious morning to ourselves, and we both knew exactly what we wanted to do with it: go for a run. But we also knew the pressure of getting it right. With so many trails and so little time, we each went deep into research mode, Strava, blogs, and trail maps ... trying to find that one perfect route. Too often, finding a solid route in a new place means hours of piecing together tips from blogs, outdated apps, and random message boards. We kept thinking, why isn’t there a trusted go-to, like Eater is for food, but for riding and running? We longed for one curated place we could actually trust to point us in the right direction. No endless scrolling, no second guessing, just good routes from people who know.

And we realized it wasn’t the first time this had happened. Some of our biggest ideas, including starting Bivo came after a run, a ride, or a hike. Movement has always been a catalyst for us. And when we started talking to others in our community, we realized we weren’t alone: people love discovering new places to ride, especially when the recommendations come from someone who really knows the area. So we created Roamer, a curated collection of bike rides (and soon, runs!) from the people who know them best: local bike shops. These are routes you’d hear about if you walked into a shop and asked, “Where should I ride?” From the classic 18 Road in Fruita to lesser-known gravel stretches outside The Dalles, OR every route is handpicked, shop-vetted, and adventure-approved. You’ll get downloadable maps, photos of the terrain, and zero wasted mornings. And better yet, recommendations for those other important details - like where to get the best Americano, post ride burrito or Vermont road side creemee (iykyk). We hope Roamer helps you skip the guesswork and get straight to the good stuff. And if you’re near one of our partner shops, stop in and say hi, they’re the heart of this whole thing.
