If buying gifts isn’t your strong suit, give a memory! There’s plenty to do in Northwest Arkansas during the winter season. Our partners OZ Ebikes have bikes for rent all season long for only $60 a day! OZ Ebikes offers fat tire e-bikes, cargo e-bikes, and city e-bikes, so there’s an option for every activity! If you have family coming to town for the holidays, have a friend who just moved to Northwest Arkansas, or want to explore the trails during your time off, book a cycling tour! OZ Cycling Tours offers six different styled tours of the mountain Biking Capital of the World. If mountain biking or family rides aren’t your style, customize your very own tour!

Baked Goods

Wanting to give something non-cycling related? Don’t worry, we got you covered. OZ Trails partner Honey Hearth GF Baking Co. makes the most delicious gluten-free treats. These made-from-scratch goodies make the perfect addition to any holiday party or family gathering. To order, direct message @honeyhearth479 on Instagram!
