Eau Claire’s labyrinth of bike trails and scenic paths act as the veins feeding the heart of the Chippewa Valley’s active community. Simple Sports on Main Street in Menomonie was voted the No. 1 place to get your toys, whether you are hitting the roads, mountains, or rails by bike, snowboard, or skateboard. Pick up quality hockey and disc golf items there as well. Or take a peek down Water Street at Eau Claire Bike & Sport, a snazzy store that’s loaded with Giant and Schwinn bicycles as well as many unique trick bikes, adult trikes, unicycles, and sporty clothing. If you are into snowboarding, disc golf, or rollerblading, Eau Claire Bike & Sport has you covered. Still hungry? Let your eyes feast upon the rows of gleaming Cannondales and KHS bicycles at Anybody’s Bike Shop, also located on Water Street, known for their excellent, down-to-earth atmosphere and service. – Heidi Kraemer
