Authorized Rivendell Bicycles Dealer in Kansas City

Why We Love Rivendell Bicycles

Rivendell bicycles are different—and that’s exactly why we love them.

In a world full of carbon race bikes, electronic components, and constantly changing standards, Rivendell focuses on something more important: building bikes that are comfortable, practical, and enjoyable to ride for decades. These are bikes designed around real-world riding—commuting, gravel roads, touring, and everyday adventures—not just speed or trends. In addition to all of this they are also some of the most beautiful bikes you'll ever see.

At Ottawa Bike and Trail, Rivendell has been on our radar since the very beginning. We’ve been planning to bring Rivendell into the shop since we opened in 2018, and we’re proud to finally offer these bikes to riders who value the same things we do—comfort, durability, and timeless design.

Steel frames, thoughtful geometry, wide tire clearance, and compatibility with racks and fenders make Rivendell bikes incredibly versatile. Whether you're riding across town or heading out on a long-distance tour, these bikes are built to handle it all—comfortably. 

Built for Real Riding

Rivendell bikes shine in the kinds of riding most people actually do:

• Mixed surface rides (pavement, gravel, dirt)
• Commuting and daily transportation
• Light touring and bikepacking
• Relaxed, upright riding with comfort as the priority

If you’ve ever felt like modern bikes are too aggressive, too specialized, or too disposable, Rivendell offers a refreshing alternative.

Build Your Dream Rivendell

One of the things we’re most excited about is helping riders build their ideal Rivendell.

These bikes aren’t just something you buy off the shelf—they’re something you can truly make your own. From handlebars and gearing to racks, bags, and finishing kit, every detail can be tailored to your riding style.

We’re committed to helping you design and build the Rivendell of your dreams. Whether you’re starting with a complete bike or building from the frame up, we’ll guide you through the process, recommend components, and make sure everything comes together into a bike you’ll love for years.

Pre-Order Your Rivendell

Rivendell bikes are produced in limited batches and often sell out quickly. If you’re interested in owning one, the best way is to reserve your bike through our pre-order system.
