Why the lunch ride matters at Trek

Meet at the side door. Roll out at 12:10. Stragglers be damned.  

Ask anyone, and they’ll tell you the best part about working at Trek is the people. But it’s not just the take-care-of-your-neighbour Midwest mentality that makes this job truly special. It’s our shared passion for bikes that really connects us. And that means, at Trek, you never have to ride alone.

On any given day at Trek offices around the world, the clatter of cleats and the buzz of free hubs echo down the hall as people head out on their daily lunch ride. They go in groups, tight pacelines cutting through the wind, singletrack seekers disappearing into the woods for the kind of respite only the natural world can provide.

Some chase PRs. Others head out to catch a breath of fresh air. And while the solitude of a solo ride certainly has its place, we’re true believers that every ride is better with friends.
