Got some strange noises from your bike or want somebody to chase on your next ride? Come see Nick at the shop!
Travis’ is a born and bred Auburnite. He grew up riding single track literally in his backyard. His first mountain bike came from Bicycle Emporium at a young age and since that day he has kept the wheels turning. Travis developed a higher passion for the sport while attending Sonoma State and has since worked in a handful of bike stores before managing Bicycle Emporium. He is the residential mountain biker in the store and is always happy to talk trails, suggested routes and anything mountain bike. Travis has dabbled in road riding, dirt jumping and more but now you’ll catch him rolling a gravel adventure bike or a full suspension Trek Remedy. Need anything or have any questions, he’s the guy.
