Bike Tahoe releases first Best of Bike results
Nearly 500 residents and visitors weighed in on riding favorites across the Tahoe Basin.
Bike Tahoe has named its first Best of Bike honorees for 2026, highlighting Tahoe-area trails, cycling destinations, shops, services and businesses welcoming riders. The public poll covered North and South Lake Tahoe, with voting spread among 19 categories. Nearly 500 ballots came from people who live in the region or visit it.
The survey reflects the range of ways travelers and locals explore Tahoe on bicycles, including mountain trails and easier recreational routes. Bike Tahoe also designed the program to draw attention to organizations and merchants connected with cycling, tourism, transportation and outdoor recreation around the lake.
Community sponsors helped fund the debut, including Lake Tahoe Travel, Visit Lake Tahoe, South Lake Tahoe’s city government, the Tahoe planning authority, Barton Health, Forest Suites Resort and Granlibakken Tahoe. Bike Tahoe plans to repeat the recognition annually as riding infrastructure and services develop.
