Getting Here and Getting Around
Air travel - We are roughly a 10 min drive from Ted Stevens International Airport for flights around the state and lake hood for sightseeing flights.
Bicycle - Anchorage is a very bikeable city. Our shop is located off the Fish Creek Trail and near the Coastal Trail that leads to downtown. We have hooks inside the shop to safely store your bicycle during the day while you are working.
Bus - We have a bus stop directly in front of the shop. We are about a 20 min bus ride from the downtown transit center
Car - Anchorage and Alaska in general is a very vehicle-reliant place. A motorized form of transportation is highly recommended especially if you plan to venture out of the city on your days off or want to stay out of the weather. Parking at the shop is limited and on busy days we usually park on a nearby side road
Motorcycle - Come on, isn't this why we're here? Alaska is a great place to travel and discover by motorcycle. A large portion of our crew commutes by motorcycle. If bringing your motorcycle bring every kind of gear you have from warm to wet. The conditions even in town can change quickly so you'll want to be prepared.
Rideshare / Taxi - Ubers, lifts and Taxis are widely available in town

Active - Activities like hiking, kayaking, cycling, and even a motocross track are all within easy reach in or close to town.
Hungry - Anchorage boasts over 100 languages spoken, with residents from all over the world. You can imagine the wonders this does for our food scene!
