Welcome.

GearGrinders is a group of mountain bike enthusiasts who are working together to promote the sport of mountain biking for recreation, fitness and enjoyment. This is an all-ages umbrella group which includes a youth section for high-school aged students. GearGrinders is affiliated with and follows all of the rules and regulations stipulated by the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA). 

If you are a high school student or the parent/guardian of a high school student, please visit the high school section for additional information on signing up.

We have partnered with Bainbridge Island parks to offer rides, skills clinics and more. See the park district web site for specific offerings.

Team effort for team jersey

After a concerted team effort involving students, adults and our volunteer designer Jennie Hermann, we have a design for the Gear Grinders' jersey. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions and pitched in to create a truly great jersey in a very tight time frame. These long-sleeved jerseys will not only look good for casual and recreational rides but will dazzle when the high school team takes part in upcoming races. A number of adults will be donning them, too. If there is sufficient demand, we can place a repeat order in the spring - delivery takes 8-10 weeks typically.
